A Garden Full of them 
is none too many! 
Although I have always grown acres of Peonies, I have 
often and keenly felt the limitations of space. At first, I 
only grew the popular sorts, in quantities. This whetted 
the appetite for prize winners until now I have a collection 
second to none, holding the rarest sorts of Europe’s fore- 
most specialists besides the greatest of our own great 
growers, principally Brand’s 
Singles, Japanese Doubles, 
blooming long seasons, in all colors 
While I have confined myself in late years to the best among the 
choicer kinds, I have not limited my choice to any one class. If it is 
a distinctly worth while sort, you are reasonably sure of finding it here.
