Peonies 
Peonies Once Planted Will Last for 50 Years 
or More—Fine Flowers, Almost Rivaling the 
Rose in Brilliancy and Bloom. 
Special: 12 for #1.50. 
Double Red, Pink or White. 
The Peony is as hardy as a Burr Oak and 
absolutely free from insect enemies and dis' 
ease. This is saying a good deal. In addition 
to this, the flowers are of immense propor- 
tions, sometimes reaching nine inches in diam¬ 
eter, perfectly double and have a great range 
of color, from the purest white to the deepest 
crimson. Our Peonies are strong, 3- to 5-eye 
divisions taken from 3-year clumps. This age 
and size have proven most satisfactory for 
the general trade.

ers, borne on long, stiff stems; the purest white, the
