 Dear Sirs : 



For several years I have supplied my garden needs

 factory, and wish to do the same this year.

Herbaceous Peonies 



The Very Best Time to Plant Them Is In 

 the Fall. 



Peonies, after once being planted, require 

 little attention and care, thrive almost any- 

 where, and are absolutely hardy every- 

 where. They do best in good, rich soil and 

 an open, sunny position, but this is not ab- 

 solutely necessary. During the growing sea- 

 son they like an occasional liberal supply 

 of water. They are not troubled with in- 

 sect pests, and, after once becoming thor- 

 oughly established, will take care of them- 

 selves, increasing in size and beauty every 

 year. Peonies will be shipped as soon as 

 possible after they can be dug — or about 

 October 1st.
