HENDERSON'S MODERN 

 HERBACEOUS PEONIES 



A Selection from the World's Newest and 

 Best Varieties 



Our Departure in Offering Peonies. It is the 



rule amort? most sellers ol Peonies to send out di- 

 vided 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 lor two or three 

 years. As most of our customers prefer to pay a 

 little more and get older undivided roots, therefore, 

 we are this year offering roots of 2 and 3 year? 

 growth from the divided stage. These, accord- 

 ing to age, will give a greater quantity of perfect 

 bloom the succeeding summer if planted between 

 September 1st and November 1st. 



The roots offered in this list are for shipment, Sep- 

 tember 1st to November \5th. Purchasers pay trans- 

 portation charges. Jf ordered by Parcel Post add 

 postage at zone rates on page 2 of cover. The packed 

 uelghts are as follows: 2yr.old2 Bs.: 3 yr. old, 4 lbs.
