THE ARISTOCRATS OF THE P^EONIES. 



Ten magnificent new varieties. 



THE results achieved by years of labor and crossing with the very finest Paeonies then in existence by our Mr. James Farquhar. In these 

 new varieties there can be traced the finest strains of the French and Richardson types. 



These varieties are of the highest quahty, large size, strong, erect habit and are all more or less scented. Distinguished by their fine 

 form and coloring. They have been highly commented upon by experts, who have seen them, and who claim that they will rank with the verj' 

 choicest varieties that as yet have been introduced. 



We were awarded a Silver Medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society for our fine collection. Also First Prize for the finest 

 and largest Paeony in the Show (one of our seedlings) .
