September 1, 1934. 
To the Friends and Customers of The Bonnewitz Gardens: 
7 
This is probably the last of our sales-talks for the 1934 season. We hope it will get 
attention from those who are buying new plants this season. 
The peonies we send out, will be the regular two eye Bonnewitz divisions, which 
have given such great satisfaction during the past 15 years. Unless we have an unusual 
amount of rain, peony divisions should be watered generously once every week or ten days 
(not oftener) after being planted, and also in the following spring. During succeeding 
seasons they do not need this attention. Two inches of straw or litter placed over the 
planting about December 15th and allowed to remain till March 15th or April 1st, pre¬ 
vents the upheaval caused by warm days and freezing nights in late February and early 
March. No cover needed after the first winter. 
¥ 
Japanese and Single Peonies are individually named as such in this list. All others 
are double varieties. 
Parcel post charges will be paid by us on all orders of three dollars or more. On 
smaller orders, include 10 cents extra on the price of each division. 
The prices in this list supersede the prices in all former lists.
