Peonies 
Please make a careful study of the list of Peonies presented. 
There is not a single variety offered which is not outstanding. 
The prices of the new kinds have been reduced to about one-third 
the cost of a few years ago. The time is here for you to add a 
few of the newer sorts or perhaps make an entire new planting. 
Peonies and their value as garden plants are too well known to 
speak about them further. We have reduced prices of all the finer 
sorts to a point where we are barely getting our growing cost. 
The plants offered are excellent, guaranteed to be up to Wayside 
Gardens “Root Strength” quality. We are offering these fine 3- to 
5-eye plants for as long as they last. Early fall planting is de¬ 
sired. Send your order at once while stocks are complete!
