SUPPLEMENT TO HENDERSON'S AUTUMN CATALOGUE 1930 
HENDERSON'S 
Modern Peonies 
Selected from the Worlds Newest and 
Best Varieties 
Our Method of Selling Henderson's Herbaceous 
Peonies. — It is the rule among most sellers of Peonies 
to send out divided roots, that is older plants cut into 
several 2 to 3 crowned roots. These, of course, can be 
sold at a lower price, but all Peony purchasers should 
know that normal Howers of maximum size will not be 
produced on these divided roots for two or three years. 
As most of our customers prefer to pay a little more and 
get older, undivided roots, therefore we are offering roots 
of 2 and 3 years' growth from the divided stage. These, 
according to age. will give a great quantity of perfect 
blooms the succeeding summer if planted between 
September 1st and November 1st. For cultural instruc- 
tions send for our Peony Guide post free. 
The roots offered in this list arc for shipment September 
15th to November 15th.
