for the Asking! 
P EONIES FOR PLEASURE” will fittingly introduce you into the 
wonderland of Peonies. It is not a catalogue but rather a treatise on 
this most glorious perennial. Inspired by the flower itself, the late Mr. John 
M. Good studied and made notes for years. The sum and substance of 
his lifetime's experience (he was one of the Peony Pioneers) is given in this 
little masterpiece of Peony literature and we want every G. M. reader to have 
one. Will you write for it to-day so that it may prove helpful this season?

PEONIES 
The best time to plant them for next year’s bloom is in 
early September. But right now, while their glowing 
glories are still vivid in your memory, is the time to 
select them and to place your order. 
All my life, I have admired this magnificent hardy perennial and while, 
with me, the Dahlia will always rule supreme, yet seven years ago, 
I bought the famous Hollis collection of Peonies and feel now that I 
owe it to other garden lovers to tell them something more about 
these new pets of mine and offer a few. 
Fll Guarantee These to Please You 
Three Famous Hollis Seedlings 
George Washington. A large 
flat, loose bloom of semi-rose type. 
One of the brightest dark crimson 
red varieties. Guards clear, collar

white, with occasional crimson 
fleck. Guards white; center cream- 
white. Mid-season. $3.00 each.

finest of the Japanese type, termed 
“Wonderful Glowing Suns” as 
they are entirely distinct from the 
other types, most of them have 
cup-shaped guard petals, which 
surround a mass of petaloids or 
filamental petals, like a crown of 
thorns. Crimson pink, with golden 
center, but according to color

Splendid Stocks of Irises, Phloxes, and Other Perennials

wishes. My stocks of Iris and Phlox, while 
not as extensive as that of Peonies, are 
comprehensive along select lines. A constant
