THE ARISTOCRATS OF THE P/€ONIES. 



Ten magnificent new varieties. 



HE results achieved by years of labor and crossing with the very finest Paeonies then in existence by our late Mr. James Farquhar. In those new 

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



These varieties are of the highest quality, large size, strong, erect habit ana are aii more or less scented. Distinguished by their fine 

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

 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 Pseony in the Show (one of our seedlings). - ' .
