Henderson's Modern Peonies 



SELECTED FROM THE WORLD'S 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 

 3 to crowned roots. These, of course, can be sold at a lower price, but all Peony 

 purchasers should know that normal flowers of maximum size will not be produced 

 on these divided roots for two nr three years. -4.S most of our customers prefer *o 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 greater 

 quantity of perfect blooms the succeeding summer if planted between September 

 1st and November 1st. For cultural instructions send for our Peony Guide post free. 

 The roots offered in this list are for shipment September 1st to November 1st,
