Cottage Gardens* Exquisite Modern Peonies 
♦ ♦ 
Double Peonies (Paeonia Ch inensis) 
SIZE OF ROOTS: We send out strong divisions with from three to five eyes and adequate Root 
System Standard of the American Peony Society, from healthy plants not over three years old, 
grown on soil that has not been used for Peony Culture before. 
We grow Peonies for their ROOTS ONLY; our efforts are directed entirely toward production 
of excellent Roots, that cannot help but give complete satisfaction. 
Although we do not recommend the planting of undivided clumps, we will gladly furnish such 
in two year and three year old, respectively at twice and three times the price of Standard divisions.
