Seriously NOW! 
These were the words of our Mr. Frank Good when, a few 
weeks ago, we decided to offer this unusual suggestion. It 
seems utterly logical to offer certain plants when the plants 
themselves arouse most interest. The end of this month 
will see the earliest of the glorious Peonies burst into bloom. 
Then it will be that you’ll be wishing hardest for Festiva 
M axima, Edulis Superba, and other forerunners of a glori- 
ous race. Then will be the time that you should let us 
book your order! 
“Peonies for Pleasure” 
Awaits Your Call 
You’ll be more than pleased with this unusual “Booklet de 
Luxe” which is easily the most comprehensive treatise on 
Peonies ever offered free for the asking. It deals with one 
flower only — The Peony — which ranks second in importance 
in our establishment, but first in the affection of many. 
Not a catalogue, but a true Guide to Peonyland, into which 
it will introduce you fittingly, frankly, and freely. Please 
write for your copy of this unusual book TO-DAY.
