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 dm 



lers 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 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 n 

 therefore we are this year offering roots of 2 and 3 years' growth from the divided stage. T: 

 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. Purchasers pay 

 transportation charges. If ordered by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates on page 2 of cover.
