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 5 crowned roots. These, of course, 

 can be sold at a lq.-wer price, but all Peony purchasers should know that 

 normal flowers 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, ac- 

 cording to age, will give a greater quantity of perfect blooms the suc- 

 ceeding 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 Novemher 

 1st.
