HIGH GRADE BULBS FOR AUTUMM PILAHTHHO 



Henderson's Modern HERBACEOUS PEONIES. 



A SELECTION FROM THE WOKLD'S NEWEST AND BEST VARIETIES. 



WITHIN the past few years this magnificent section of hardy herbaceous flowering plants has been brought into very prominent notice because of the general 

 improvement in varieties of comparatively recent crigin. In these newer sorts the flowers have attained immense proportions, reaching in some instances 

 the large size of seven to nine inches in diameter and five to six inches in depth. The range of color is also so varied that almost every tint of pink, white 

 red, crimson and even yellow is comprised in the list. The vigor and habit of the plants have been so improved that stems two and one-half to three feet in length, 

 and sufficiently strong to properly support the immense blooms, are now grown. There is an element of practical, permanent value in the Peony; that is, the 

 plants once purchased and planted in suitable soil, continue to increase in size and profusion of blocm, and pay a generous annual dividend in the way of an 

 enormous crop of magnificent, deliciously fragrant blooms that are unsurpassed for decorating purposes. 



OUR DEPARTURE IN OFFERING PEONIES It is the rule among most sellers of Peonies to send out divided 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 or characteristic flowers of maximum size 

 will not be produced on these divided roots fcr two or three years. As most of our customers prefer to pay a little mere and get older undivided roots therefore we 

 are this year offering roots of 1, 2, and 3 years growth from the divided stage. These according to age, will give a greater quantity of perfect bloom the succeeding 

 summer if planted between September 1 and November 1.
