WILL GLORIFY YOUR GARDEN IN THE EARLY SPRING 
Plant now, in the fall, to get best results 
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 mak- 
ing critical examinations of some of the finest collections grown, thus enabling us to select for our customers 
the kinds which leading specialists agree are without rivals. You may order freely and feel safe.

og Peonies will grow anywhere—reasonably speak- 
©, ing. They thrive in partial shade, but best results 
4 are obtained when they are planted in deep, 
> rich soil about 2 inches below the surface and 
> havea sunny location. Plenty of water during 
the growing season is an added stimulus, and 
7 if liquid manure is applied at intervals of ten 
me “4 . 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 the plants to cease 
blooming. September and October are the first 
choice of planting months.
