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 out 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 beg 

 produced on these divided roots for two or three years 

 As most of our customers prefer to pay a little more a no 

 pet 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 great quantity of perfect 

 blooms the succeeding summer if planted between 

 September 1st and November 1st. For cultural instate | ^k. 

 tioiis send for our Peony Guide post free.
