Select Double PEONIES 



On this and the following page we offer what we 

 consider an exceptional selection of these greatest of 

 all June flowering perennials. Planting Peonies 

 may be likened to investing money in good bonds. 

 They increase in value from year to year. In con- 

 nection with the varieties offered we have given the 

 blooming season as recorded by us here in our 

 nursery. By a judicious planting of early, midsea- 

 son and late blooming sorts, three weeks to a month 

 of Peony blooms may be enjoyed.
