PEONY INTRODUCTIONS 
There are many gardens where the Peony is valued for what it is and always will 
be, the climax of blossom time. Fashions change, and garden space is limited; survival 
is for the best. 
We are no longer prone to overlook faults in our flowers, nor do we accept ratings 
based upon mere enthusiasm of the introducer. A thoroughly impartial comparison of my 
originations with the world’s best-rated flowers resulted in the selection of several that 
are outstanding each year for freedom of bloom, and for the excellent form, character 
and substance of the flower with pleasing color and fragrance. These I have introduced 
from time to time and they are here assembled for the discriminating purchaser. 
The prices are reduced from the last of¬ 
fering in 1932, and are for prime one-year- 
old roots, which I consider more valuable 
than divisions. Autumn planting is recom¬ 
mended, from September 15 to November 
15, and no stock is stored for spring deliv¬ 
ery. Prepaid delivery on orders of $2.00 or 
more.

Guards pale amaranth-pink, the full fim¬

Crystola. (Andrews, 1932.) Extra large, 
flat rose type, pure crystal-white without 
markings or remnants, greenish reflex, rich 
frangrance. The outstanding white in any
