Let “Peonies for Pleasure” Help 
This beautiful booklet “De Luxe” holds a great treat for every 
Peony admirer. It will properly introduce you into the land of Peonies, 
give you lots of facts, some fancies and helpful cultural notes, together 
with unbiased opinions of our Mr John Good who has made a life study 
of Peonies. Since the supply of this treatise ( not a catalogue) is running
