Peonies of Distinction 
m 
are quite as much our hobby as are the old-time favorites 1 
so well liked by millions. While we grow Festiva Maxi- 1 
ma, Edulis Superba, and other popular sorts in immense 
quantities, we also have “pets” of which we grow only a jj 
few, sometimes less than a hundred. It is from our col- 
lection of the Best Blood among Peonies that we offer the jj 
following:

lovely apple-blossom pink with each petal silver-tipped.

brilliant.

is a beautiful “DeLuxe" booklet you'll be proud to have. So great has j| 
been the demand for this comprehensive treatise ( not a catalogue) that 1 
our supply is running low. However, we have reserved enough, we hope, 
for Garden Magazine readers, but would ask you to please refer to this
