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 6 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 or three years. As most of our customers prefer to pay a little more and get older, undivided roots, there- 

 fore we are this year 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 \st to November 1st. Purchasers pay transportation charges, 

 not at irmt rotes on page 2 of cover. The packed weights are as follows: 2 yr. old, 2 lbs.; 3 yr. old, 4 lbs.
