PEONIES 
A few years ago a nice planting of Peonies represented a large investment. We believe on many varieties the prices 
were two high. We have propagated our Peonies until we accumulated large quantities of the varieties listed herewith. The 
result is we are now able to offer these to you at very reasonable prices. Our plants are free from disease, producing good 
healthy growth and maximum crops of flowers. We supply extra strong 3-5 eye divisions. Considering the quality we ship, 
we aie sure you will find our Peonies excellent values. Pleasenote attractive prices.
