ROSEDALE NURSERI ES 
Double Lilac 
High. Spots of the 
Peony World 
For over 25 years Peonies have been a lead¬ 
ing specialty at Rosedale. Hundreds of vari¬ 
eties have been tested, and we now offer the 
following list of varieties, which have stood 
the test. 
Size of Plants —We offer 3 sizes; 3 to 5 eye 
divisions, 1 year, 2 year, with a balanced root 
system. We recommend one and two year 
sizes for immediate results. 
Culture —Peonies are extremely easy to 
grow, and stand shipping and handling better 
than most Perennials. They like rich, deep 
loam with an abundant supply of moisture. 
Do not use fresh manure near roots. Plant 
in September or October; cover eyes not 
over 2 inches. 
Two-year plants are available only in the 
varieties marked *. For prices of 2-year size, 
double the price of divisions. Postage prepaid 
east of Mississippi on orders of $2.00 or more. 
Add postage as indicated on special collections. 
FRENCH HYBRID LILACS 
Almost everybody knows and loves the old- 
fashioned purple Lilac, but only a few know 
how exquisitely lovely the French Hybrids 
are. They are just as easy to grow, and bloom 
when they are even younger. The flowers are 
relatively huge, and are borne in enormous 
clusters, sometimes six or seven clusters com¬ 
bined in one great truss. We list fifteen single 
and double kinds in a complete range of 
color.
