THE BRAND MASTERPIECES 
America’s Most Beautiful Line of Peonies 
T HAT many of the Brand Varieties are rated among the very best is 
most strikingly demonstrated by the many sorts of our introduction 
now included in the newest lists just out of the “World’s Best Peonies.” 
Of 50 varieties constituting Wm. A. 
Peterson’s “Master List” six sorts, or 
1232%, are Brand Varieties. 
9 out of 56, or a trifle over 16%, of 
Henry S. Cooper’s “World’s best at any 
price” peonies are varieties of our intro- 
duction. 
4 out of Mr. Boyd’s selection as the 21 
world’s best the “Creme de la Creme” of 
peonies, or nearly 20%, are Brand Varieties. 
In making your selection of peonies 
there is no safer guide to go by than the 
unsolicited expressed judgment of the 
recognized peony experts of the country. 
I feel that I now have the largest and most complete collection in America of all 
the choicer varieties of Kelway, Dessert, Lemoine and other French growers and can

What Can I Plant in July? 
Do you feel that you are living on the street — do 
you wish you had a wall? Arrowwood, Golden Bell, Pine, 
Spruce, Fir, Hemlock, Oak, Dogwood, Maple, Linden — 
any of these will make a splendid wall of green, yet they do 
not say “Keep Out” in so harsh a way as do walls of brick 
or stone. 
1 here’s lots of fun in the arrangement of new plants 
and trees about the grounds. In midsummer you can see 
just what is needed, and the growing things may be put in 
their places in full leaf. 
Are you on the seashore? You will find at Hicks 
Nurseries many varieties of Pine, Bayberry and Oak with 
salt resisting foliage. 
Are you in the mountains where it is difficult to plant 
in the spring? You can plant a garden of handsome flowers, 
and enjoy it right away. 
Do you want cool shade? You can have shade trees 
5 to 20 feet wide delivered and planted now in parks or on 
your lawn. 
Do you wish to put cover plants under your trees and 
shrubs? Many of them can be planted in July.
