varieties along with the old stand-bys. 
Be modern. 
While it is not an exact compari¬ 
son, buying peonies is something like 
buying clothes or automobiles. 
When you go into a store this fall 
to buy a coat, you wouldn’t take one 
first introduced in 1910 no matter how” 
good the quality. If the family rates 
a new car, you’ll certainly pay some at¬ 
tention to stream lined bodies and 
multiple-cylindered motors rather than 
an automobile of the Model T era. 
Please understand we don’t mean 
to say that peony styles fluctuate from 
year to year as do coats and cars. But 
when a new peony is recognized by the 
American Peony Society and given a 
high rating, it does mean that it’s an 
exceptional flower, different from any¬ 
thing else grown. 
Any one of us who isn’t interested 
in and thrilled by new things is hope¬ 
lessly out of date and only waiting for 
the grim reaper. 
So we advise again: include some 
of the new peonies. Be modern. Have 
something different to show your gar¬ 
den visitors. 
New and rare varieties will be 
found in Group 2, Section 1 of our 
catalog. Write if you don’t have a 
copy.
