SPLENDID Hardy Everywhere PEONIES 

 "ARISTOCRAT OF FLOWERS" 



THE wonderful Improvements made during recent years in these old-fashioned hardy plants has 

 brought them into renewed popularity. The gorgeous flowers, which rival the finest Roses in size, 

 form and color, are produced in great abundance. After once being planted they require little care 

 and attention, thrive anywhere, and are absolutely hardy even in the coldest climates; each year 

 after planting they grow into greater value, producing more and more flowers. They are not troubled 

 with insect pests. Try some of our fine Peonies, and see what grand flowers they are. Get it out of 

 your head that there are only Red, White and Pink Peonies to illustrate at flowering time. People who 

 visit our field will say, "I have Pink and "White Peonies. I desire only Red ones," but when they are 

 shown the Pink and White, they invariably exclaim, "How grand! I have none like them." There is as 

 much difference in Peonies as there is in Roses.
