Peterson’s 
Perfect Peonies 
Again Prove Invincible 
At the National Exhibition of the American 
Peony Society, held in New York last June, and in 
competition with the leading growers of the coun- 
try, they won first prize for the best 25 varieties. 
A week later, in Boston, at the big exhibition of 
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, this 
achievement was duplicated; in fact, my Peonies 
won six chief first prizes out of seven entries. 
“Peterson’s Perfect Peonies” are the natural 
result of 23 years of enthusiastic — yes, loving 
devotion. 
They are Peonies of accomplishment and not 
merely those of clever advertising, which may 
never have won a prize. 
The modern Peony is the greatest flower of our day. 
How about it this fall?

Scores of letters like these: 
From Stevens Point, Wis. — “I am enclosing an 
order for more Peonies this fall. I have had 
plants from other dealers, but never any that 
blossomed as yours did the first year. On 
twelve plants there were over one hundred 
blooms, as large and full as those on plants 
which were set out two years before.” 
From Duluth, Minn. — “The box of Peonies 
arrivetl in perfect condition and were the 
wonder of all who saw them. They were three 
or four times as large as those received from 
and and . I shall certainly 
recommend you to all of my friends, and 
send to you whenever I want Peonies in the 
future.” 
From Winnipeg, Canada — “The seventy-seven 
varieties of Peonies you sent me this fall, came 
to hand while 1 was absent from home, and the 
gardener, with over twenty-five years’ experi- 
ence here and in England, reported on my 
return that he had never seen such fine roots 
sent out by any gro^ver. From the reports I 
have had from others I quite concur in his 
good opinion.”

expert advice? Our fame is nation-ivide; everywhere the supremacy 
of our Peonies is established. It is because we are specialists in
