 bulbs, and seeds that can be grown. The plants have received such care in our greenhouses and fields 

 that, when shipped, they will have a root growth and vitality that will insure success when they are 

 planted in their new homes. Our representative in Holland has carefully selected the bulbs which we 

 offer, such as Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus, etc., and has inspected them while growing with the pur- 

 pose of seeing that every bulb will be true to name and description, and of a quality suitable for our 

 particular trade.

THE PEONY I! 



as a I 



CUT FLOWER ! 



By selection and hybridiz- 

 ing the Peony has now be- 

 come the grandest flower i 

 save the rose and also one of ,1 

 the most superbly scented. it 



The sweet aromatic frag- ;| 

 ranee is not the least of the 

 many attractions of this 

 "rose without a thorn" and 

 the magnificent blooms borne 

 on long stiff stems make 

 these flowers especially valu- 

 able for cutting. Customers 

 living near cities where cut 

 flowers are in demand will 

 find Peonies a profitable in- 

 vestment as the gorgeous 

 blooms command a good 

 price and a dozen roots 

 planted this Fall in rich 

 loamy soil, 2 to 3 ft. apart, 

 will produce flowers next 

 May and June. If undis- 

 turbed, the roots will increase 

 in size yearly and the blooms 

 will improve in quality as the 

 plants get established. 



Remember ' 



Autumn is Peony planting time i
