It is only actual garden work, deep study, research and patient 

 perseverance that could have made possible the writing of this most 

 important, valuable and authoritative work. 



I prophesy that "The Book Of The Peony." is destined to become 

 a treasured volume in the library of every garden lover. 



It is published by the J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia, 

 which I compliment on this fine example of the art of book making.
