The Greatest List of Peonies Ever Offered at Prices Here Quoted 



For a few customers who could not plant their Peonies during the fall season, we are carrying the following 

 varieties in storage and WILL FILL ORDERS FOR SPRING AS LONG AS THIS SUPPLY LASTS. You can plant 

 these up until March 20th, but not after that time. All orders received after March 20th for Peonies will be filed for 

 September, 1926 delivery. 



SPLENDID 



HARDY 

 EVERYWHERE 



PEONIES 



"ARISTOCRAT 

 OF FLOWERS" 



THE wonderful improvements made during recent years in these old-fashioned hardy plants have brought them into renewed popu- 

 larity. 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 they 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. 



We have found that divisions do not give the customer satisfaction; they have to wait too long for the plant to become established. 



For This Reason We are Not Offering Any Peony This Year Under a One-Year Size. 



The one-year plant is a plant divided and reset a year before. We do not advise our customers to divide any of these one-year 

 roots if they want bloom the first year. We find that Peonies should not be divided more than once in three years. 



Don't Forget When in Need of Peonies, Consult Our "Peonies for Pleasure," Sent for the Asking.
