France, which are in no comparison with the old common kinds; they can be 
planted in September or early spring and bloom the first year. We offer in 
assorted colors one year plants; each $1.00; Doz. $10.00. 
We are also offering for spring delivery only, pot-grown plants of 
Delphiniums. These plants are the same that we will be using for our own 
planting. To those who have had difficulty in germinating the seed of Del¬ 
phiniums, this is an opportunity to get these young unflowered plants, and thus 
get the initial benefit from them. 
These plants will all bloom from August until frost, giving spikes from 
3 to 4 feet in height and the following year they will be at their best. 
Plants carefully packed and guaranteed to arrive safely, $4.00 per Doz. 
Peonies 
Peonies are prefectly hardy, requiring no protection whatever, even in the 
most severe climate, and once planted, increase in beauty each year. 
Planting —Peonies may be planted any time in the Fall, from September 1st 
until the ground freezes No Peonies are handled by us in the Spring, as that 
is entirely the wrong time to plant them. 
Size of Root —Making a specialty of growing Peonies and Gladiolus our 
progress depends entirely upon the results obtained from our roots and bulbs; 
for this reason we quote prices on 3 to 5 eye, or large divisions only. 
Important! An important point to observe in the planting of Peonies is 
not to plant too deep. The roots should be placed so that the eyes arc two 
inches below the surface, and the soil tighth^ packed about them. 
It will be noticed that we are not ciuoting any Peonies for less than $l.fK) 
as we cannot grow, care for our stock, dig, pack, label and supply our customers 
with good, strong plants and make a living profit for less than this amount. 
Discounts —On all orders amounting to $10.00 or more a discount of 10% 
will be allowed when cash accompanies the order.
