PEONIES 
At the Michigan State Peony Show, at Jackson, June, 1933, we made our first com¬ 
petitive exhibit. On six entries, we were awarded five prizes, three firsts and two seconds. 
We believe that this award speaks for itself. 
We have received a number of new seedling Peonies from our friend, Dr. J. H. Neeley, 
including Leto, Freckles, Star of Beauty, and Seedling No. 13, of which we have no 
description as yet, and which are not yet offered for sale. We saw them all in Dr. 
Neeley’s garden last season, and were very much impressed by their beauty. 
Fine Peonies because of their all-around dependability, their sturdiness, their ex¬ 
quisite beauty and delightful fragrance have a peculiar fascination for flower lovers. 
The Peony is so hardy that it thrives in the coldest climate, without winter protection. 
Wherever the ground freezes at some time during the winter the peony can be success¬ 
fully grown. It is the ideal flower of the North where most perennials can hardly sur¬ 
vive. Nearly all of the varieties in this list are real aristocrats of the Peony world. 
Peony roots are best planted at any time in the fall, beginning about the middle 
of September. All orders for Peony roots will be shipped during this period. Prices are 
for standard divisions with three to five or more eyes. 
A discount of 15% from list prices w 7 ill be allowed when selection of varieties is left 
to us.
