HENDERSON'S 



Modern Peonies 



Bring Regal Splendor to Your Garden 

 Selected from the World's Best Varieties 



The varieties offered below have been voted upon by the American Peony 

 Society as being the best and finest garden varieties and are unequalled. 



Our Method of Selling Henderson's Herbaceous Peonies. — It is the rule 

 among most sellers of Peonies to send out divided roots, that is older plants cut into 

 several 2 to .5 crowned roots. These, of course, can be sold at a lower price, but all 

 Peony purchasers 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 2 and 3 years growth from the divided stage. These, according to age. 

 will give a great quantity of perfect blooms the succeeding summer if planted be- 

 tween September 15th and November 1st. For cultural instruclions send for our 

 Peony Guide post free. 



The roots offered in this list are for shipment September \Sth to Noremher iSlli
