Peony 

 Adolphe Rousseau 



Autumn, 1931 * Peony Planting Time * 



Peonies for 

 Permanent Planting 



INCLUDING DISTINGUISHED 

 ARISTOCRATS 



No (lower can surpass the Peony for mas- 

 sive, showy blooms in quantities from each 

 established plant, even in partly shaded 

 locations. These are good Peonies. Note 

 the ratings by experts of the American 

 Peony Society. The best for the price in 

 each set has been our aim, and we give you 

 roots that produce results. 

 Colors range from snow-white to deepest 

 maroon. Plant some each of the early, midscason, 

 and late-blooming kinds and you will have 

 Peonies for over six weeks. Plant so the eyes are 

 covered with only 2 inches of soil.
