PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— PEONY ROOTS. 31 



HENDERSON'S 



MODERN HERBACEOUS PEONIES. 



A SELECTION FROM THE WORLD'S NEWEST AND BEST VARIETIES. 

 (See illustration opposite page 32.) 



OUR DEPARTURE IN OFFERING PEONIES: It is the rule among most sellers of Peonies to send out divided roots, 

 that is older plants cut into several 3 to 5 crowned roots. These of course can be sold at a lower price, but all Peony pur- 

 chasers should know that normal flowers of maximum size will not be produced on these divided roots for two or three years. 

 As most of our customers prefer to pay a little more and get older undivided roots therefore we are offering roots of 

 1, 2, and 3 years growth from the divided stage. These according to age, will give a greater quantity of bloom the succeeding 

 summer if planted between September 1st and November 1st. 



(PRICE EACH (purchaser paying expressage). For shipment September 1st to November 15th. 



If by Parcel Post add postage at Zone Rates on page 2 of cover. Packed weight 1 yr. old, llh.\2yr. old, 2lhs.; 3 yr. old. -ilbs.
