The Logical Time 
to Order Peonies 
is when you are “chumming” with them in your own 
or friends’ garden. Memory is too elusive a thing to 
be trusted ! Entrust your wishes to us— write us freely 
any time this month concerning Peonies. The full 
benefit of a quarter century’s experience with this 
wonderful flower is yours to command. 
Make our Booklet Your Guide 
“Peonies for Pleasure” is not a catalogue but a beautiful 
booklet free to all who love 'Peonies or want to. It 
will appeal as much to the hobbyist as it will help 
the beginner. Our admiration for the Peony is akin 
to religion, and you’ll find every word in our own Peony 
Bible to be true. 
Send no money — just order 
Tell us what you desire in Peonies and we’ll supply it. 
Scores of acres, hundreds of thousands of plants, one of 
the most comprehensive collec- 
tions in the entire world is at your 
disposal here. And the man along- 
side— our Mr. John Good— gives 
his word as a fellow craftsman and 
Peony “crank” that you’ll get a 
square deal, whether you’ll buy a 
dozen or a carload. Write us 
what you want— we’ll supply it 
or give frank advice.
