The Helena State Nursery Co.. Helena: 
Dear Sir: — Have you folks got out The Nursery 
Catalogue for 1916? if so send us one, and if not, put 
my application on tile for one when issued. We re- 
ceived your plants last Spring in fine condition and the 
Carnations, Roses. Dahlias, Peonies. Chrysanthemums 
did fine, also the balance of our order, considering the 
cold spells we had during the early Spring. At the 
county fair we took first prize on the following flowers: 
Roses, Carnations, Gladiolas and second on Asters, 
Dahlias and Sweet Peas, and could have had first on 
the latter three if we would have taken more pains in 
picking. We are very thankful to the State Nursery 
for the vigorous and healthy plants they sent us and 
will increase my flower garden three-fold another 
Spring, also will have to buy some Nursery stock such 
as trees for the parking in front of lots. Hoping to 
hear from you soon, we beg to remain sincerely a 
boosting customer of yours.

PEONIES 
These old-time favorites are more than ever claim- 
ing the front rank of popularity. The new varieties 
introduced in recent years with their great variety of 
exquisite colors and such perfect flowers possess a strik- 
ing individuality and planted singly or in groups pro- 
duce a gorgeous effect. Their only requirements are 
a good soil and a sunny position, which however, is not 
absolutely necessary as they thrive almost equally well 
in a partly shaded position. A liberal supply of water 
during the growing season being sufficient to give an 
abundance and wealth of flowers which rival the 
finest Roses in coloring and fragrance, and produce 
during their flowering season a gorgeous effect not 
equalled by any other flower.
