Ts a book — rather than a mere 
catalog — that tells in an extremely 
interesting way of the habits, the 
form, the likes and dislikes of my 
favori te perennials, the time of bloom- 
ing and the colors of the flowers, the 
text having been written from my own 
field notes. 
The camera caught many of these 
flowers in their natural beauty, just as 
they grew here at Wyomissing. Twenty- 
four full page illustrations (twelve in nat- 
ural colors, reproduced from Lumiere color plates) show the glory of my 
hardy perennials. 
It answers the question, “Where can one find a book on the Peony?” for 
it accurately describes over five hundred varieties and tells you more about 
the Peony than any other book ever published 
It is the recognized authority on the Iris. It classifies the hundreds of 
varieties and tells how and where to grow them. 
Other leading specialties described at length are: Phloxes, Delphiniums, 
Hardy Asters and Chrysanthemums, a splendid list of Roses and a unique 
collection of the new Lilacs. 
This book is for you, if you write for it, and I trust it may be an inspira- 
tion to you as its predecessors have been to other flower lovers.
