H ENDEKSON-S MODEKN HEKBACEOUS PEONIES. 



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



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 purchasers should know that normal or characteristic 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 this 

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

 planted, between September 1 and November 1; the earlier the better so they can make roots in the fall.
