The old-established firm of Brocket & Son, successors to the famous Paillet 

 \t\ Nurseries, Chatenay, France, offered to me, and I have purchased, their entire 



collection of Mother Plant Tree Peonies. 



This most interesting collection contains 238 varieties and upwards of 2,000 

 specimens, ranging in age from ten to fifteen years. These plants were safely 

 transported eighteen months ago to my Wyomissing Nurseries. They are in 

 prime condition and the past season has shown them to be probably the most 

 notable, and certainly the most interesting collection of Tree Peonies in 

 existence. 



Such a collection has long been my ambition. It is fully realized in these 

 glorious specimens — the most wonderful flowers I have ever seen. I have 

 reserved one each of the Mother Plants of the 238 varieties for my Specimen 

 Garden, and from these plants I shall in time propogate for the future. 



The balance of the collection I am glad to be able to offer to the peony 

 lovers of America: 



Collection A: 1 plant of each of 25 diflferent varieties, $100.00 

 Collection B : 1 plant of each of 10 varieties, • 50.00 



Each of these plants is entirely on its oivn original roots, a matter of first 

 importance. There is no choice between the plants offered and those I have 

 planted in my Specimen Garden — all are perfect. 



Extra heavy specimens such as these Mother Plants have rarely been offered 

 even in Europe and never before in this country, and it is with diffidence, and 

 hesitancy because of the circumstances which forced their original owners to 

 part ivith them, that I put a price at all upon them. 



Only a very limited number of collections are possible. I shall, personally, 

 make the selections for each order, and each order will be filled as received^ 

 to be delivered with the utmost care to your garden for planting this fall. 

 If you are interested, may I suggest your immediate order?
