Peontes for Every Garden 
“For the Glory of the Garden Glorifieth Everyone.”—Kipling 
When you order from this list you may feel absolutely safe against any unhappy result, because 
we have allowed nothing in it except the very choicest kinds. 
You surely want Peonies, because no other flower approaches them for hardiness, freedom of bloom, 
fragrance, usefulness as cut-flowers, and immunity from attacks of insects and disease. 
We have exceptional facilities, not only for testing them in our own good soil here, but also for 
making critical examinations of some of the finest collections grown, thus enabling us to select for our cus- 
tomers the kinds which leading specialists agree are without rivals. You may order freely and feel safe.

Peony Culture 
Peonies will grow anywhere—reasonably speak- 
ing. They thrive in partial shade, but best results 
*~_ are obtained when they are planted in deep, 
} rich soil about 2 tnches below the surface and 
' havea sunny location. Plenty of water during 
: / the growing season is an added stimulus, and if 
~ fs / liquid manure is applied at intervals of ten days, 
the grower-will be amply repaid for his trouble in 
the increased size and coloring of the flowers. 
When placing manure around the plants, care should 
be taken not to put any on the stems, as this will 
sometimes cause thé plants to cease blooming. Septem- 
ber and October are the first-choice of planting months.
