Our Method of Selling Henderson's Her- 

 baceous Peonies. — It is the rule among most 

 sellers of Peonies to send out divided roots, that 

 is, older plants cut into several 2 to 3 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, roots, therefore 

 we are offering roots of 2 and 3 years growth. 

 These, according to age. will give a quantity of 

 blooms the succeeding summer if planted be- 

 tween September 15th and November 1st.
