GEORGE J. FOSTER NORMAL, ILLINOIS 
Special Mention 
To anyone desiring to plant Hardy Herbaceous Flowering plants, 
I would call especial attention to my block o£ named Peonies, as I 
have now a very nice stock and assortment of choice varieties, from 
the earliest to the latest, so that the season of continuous bloom last 
year was from the middle of May until about July 1st — a fine show 
indeed of plants that are becoming more popular every year.
