OFFER NO. 1 
5 World-Famous Peonies for only $5 
Last year we offered five world-famous peonies for $5.00 as a before-blooming 
special. Quite a few people have asked us to repeat this offer this year, so we 
have'decided to do so. 
Note the very high grade of all of the varieties which are offered—all of 
them rated above 9.0 by the American Peony Society—and with the exception 
of Solange all are excellent garden or landscape varieties. These are all husky 
Auglaize Garden divisions with at least five major eyes and plenty of strong 
roots to start the plants vigorously. 
LE CYGNE, 9.9—The world’s highest rated peony. A wonderful flower of exquisite beauty and 
grace. Symmetrical large creamy white to white flowers. The plant has dark green foliage, 
strong stems and is of medium height, blooming in midseason. 
MRS. EDWARD HARDING, 9.3— The original Hundred Dollar peony. Another outstanding 
white peony entirely different from Le Cygne. Clear clean white, delicate flowers carried on 
stiff stems, and a very free bloomer. 
MARTHA BULLOCK, 9.1 —An exceptional peony in that it combines exceptional size with beauty 
and fine quality to a much greater degree than is usual. The color is bright old rose pink, 
and the flowers are carried on tall stiff stems and possess a rose-like fragrance. Late mid¬ 
season. 
WALTER FAXON, 9.3 —Sometimes spoken of as the only real pink peony. The flowers are 
medium in size and globular in form, the stems and foliage of good quality. This flower to 
be at its best should be disbudded. 
FUYAJO, 9,2—A distinct and desirable Japanese peony. The out petals are a rich mahogany 
red, and surround a center of dark red petaloids, tipped chamois. Strong tall stems. Medium 
size flower, blooming in midseason. 
OR, if you do not care for a red flower in the collection, you may substitute Pride of Essex, a 
beautiful, large, pale rose-pink flower of rather loose form and a good decorative plant in the 
garden. Tall with stiff stems. No other substitutions allowed. 
OFFER NO. 2 
A Smaller James Boyd Collection for $7.50 
Last fall we offered a collection for $25.00 that we termed the James Boyd 
collection, made up of 12 outstanding varieties selected by the late Mr. James 
Boyd, editor of the American Peony Society Manual. We had quite a number 
of people ask us if we couldn’t offer a part of this group as a lower-priced col¬ 
lection, so we have cut this collection in half and taken out Alice Harding 
and Mrs. A. M. Brand, as they are quite high in price, Le Cygne, Mrs. Edward 
Harding and Walter Faxon because they are in our No. 1 collection, and 
Tourangelle because it is not an especially good landscape variety. This 
leaves the following six varieties: 
KELWAY'S GLORIOUS, 9.8—One of the finest of the white peonies and which runs Le Cygne 
a very close second. Many people prefer it. It’s of medium height, free flowering and fairly 
good stems. The flowers are of immense size and somewhat flat in shape. It should be in 
every good collection. 
MME. JULES DESSERT, 9.4—An old flower, but of such exceptionally high quality that it is 
worthy of a place in any collection. Tall, splendid habit, thoroughly reliable. Flesh-white 
in color. 
PHILIPPE RlVOIRE, 9.3—The finest red peony in general cultivation today, of medium size 
and will not burn even in strong sun. 
PRESIDENT WILSON, 9.3—Very large bright rose-pink flower, has a rich spicy fragrance and 
of medium height. Considered by many the best of the Thurlow introductions. 
THERESE, 9.8—The highest rated pink peony in the world and which continues its popularity 
in spite of new introductions. Splendid in form, texture and color. 
SOLANGE, 9.7—A flower different in color from any other of the better known varieties. It’s 
creamy white with a suffusion of buff and pale salmon pink. The flower is extremely large 
and heavy and because of this fact generally requires some support.
