Single Peonies 
Single Peonies are becoming more and more popular each year, many people considering them more artistic 
and beautiful than the double ones. They are exceptionally attractive, and not at all common in the garden, 
making them especially desirable. They are very airy and stand out prominently, producing their blossoms in 
great abundance. The great variety of colors, and their fantastic shapes make them ideal for the home garden, 
h or Landscape effects, they are especially valuable, on account of their brilliant colors, and upright habit, and 
the tact they are not easily beaten down by storms. 
I have a very choice collection, principally seedlings, possessing the most delicate and rarest shades; but my 
stock is insufficient for me to offer them under names, therefore, I offer them under color, and at greatly reduced 
prices. I have over two hundred different shades in Single Peonies, and can furnish in the following colors: 
Large deep rose-pink 75 cents each 
Large-flowered pale pink 75 cents each. 
Largest deep crimson shades 75 cents each. 
White shades, and pure white $1.00 each 
Purple-crimson shades 50 cents each. 
Pale pink and delicate shades 50 cents each. 
Deep pink shades 50 cents each. 
Crimson shades 50 cents each. 
Pink and white shades 50 cents each. 
Mixed Peonies 
Each season, in handling our Peonies, a small amount becomes mixed in handling them, many times the 
very choicest varieties. It does not prove worth while for me to plant these separately, to ascertain their names, 
so I am offering them at 50 cents each, as long as they last. This mixture is apt to include some of the best new 
things, not offered in my catalog; and includes both Double and Single varieties.

Mr. J. K. Alexander. 
Dear Sir,— v 
I am returning by the same mail the 
Dahlia tuber “Darlene” which I bought of 
you this Spring. I have had it four weeks 
in a hot bed, watering only as needed, and 
it shows no signs of starting, and is rotting 
at the end, which was evidently cut off in 
digging. While the other five I had from 
you, including “Mina Burgle,” “Baron G. 
deGrancy,” “J. M. Goodrich,” “Frank A. 
Walker”; and “Minos,” gratis, are just 
growing fine. I don’t want to be unreas¬ 
onable, but in accordance with your offer 
in your catalog, would be very much 
pleased if you cared to send me a tuber of 
“Darlene” or something else that would 
grow. I changed the label as it fell out 
where it had rotted away at the end. I 
was much pleased with the quality of your 
Dahlias and wish to thank you for “Minos,” 
which you sent gratis. 
Very truly yours, 
Mrs. F. A. Lorenz. 
My dear Sir,— 
Your shipment of Gladioli bulbs reached 
me all right and I am thanking you for 
extra bulbs. I am anticipating much 
pleasure from them, as I already have en¬ 
joyed your Dahlias. 
Yours truly, 
Alice C. Brigham.

Dear Sir,— 
This is to acknowledge receipt of the 
Dahlia bulb “Stradella” that you sent to 
me gratis with my last order. 
I certainly appreciate your kindness, as 
the gift was so unexpected, and should I 
have success in bringing the flower to 
perfection, will take pleasure in telling my 
friends. 
Again, thanking you I am, 
Sincerely yours, 
J. H. Slason.
