Peterson’s Perfect Peonies 
The Flower Triumphant 
T HE Peony is a flower that can and does laugh at any 
Winter which nature may send us. It came out smiling 
last Spring, 100% there, after a Winter which wrought 
havoc to many so-called “hardy” plants of various kinds. 
And this June it was more luxuriant in growth and bloom than I 
have ever known it to be. 
Do YOU Know the Peony of To-Day? 
Do you know that in addition to its unequalled hardiness, its freedom 
from disease, and its ease of culture, it is, withal, the largest as well as one 
of the most fragrant and beautiful flowers that grows? 
I have intimately known and loved the Peony for more than 25 years 
and for the past 16 years I have devoted my life work exclusively to 
this flower and the rose. 
734 15th Street, Washington, D. C., Nov. 10, 1919 
“I have had the same men planting for the past five years Peonies from 
France, Holland, and the United States, and they all agreed that yours ex- 
ceeded by far anything that they had ever planted. 1 agreed with them, and 
I want to thank you for your excellent shipment/* 
“I have no objection to your quoting me at any time you desire to do so. 
I think it is well for the public to know where they can get good Peony roots, 
correctly named, as I have had some sad experience in the past.** 
EDWARD P. SCHWARTZ 
My new Peony Catalogue for 1920 will open a door of 
ever-increasing garden delight. May I send it to you?

Mohican Supremacy 
WHY WE LEAD 
BECAUSE of the study of, and devotion 
to, the Peony alone, — an undivided 
allegiance. It’s significant. 
BECAUSE our system of cultivation is 
unmatched in this country. Every 
root given individual and intensive 
culture, — as in a private garden. 
Ask those who have been here. 
BECAUSE we do not send out a root un- 
til — regardless of its age — it has 
bloomed satisfactorily here the spring 
prior to its going to you. Some of 
the plants we deliver are three and four 
years old — with no advance in price. 
BECAUSE there are not 2,000,- — nor 
1000, — nor 500 distinct varieties; but 
scarcely more than 100; and we have 
“spiked the guns” of the duplicates 
at high prices. 
There are lots of POOR Peonies; why not have the benefit of really expert 
advice. Our fame is nationwide. ’Most everybody everywhere knows of 
the ABSOLUTE SUPREMACY of our Peonies. Do you? One of the 
REASONS is because 
WE GROW PEONIES 
-NOTHING ELSE 
Suspicions of the other reasons will be awakened by our catalogue. In- 
stant confirmation of them if you could visit our grounds and see the 
plants growing — the stock we send to you. Ask those who have been here.
