When Better Peonies Are Originated 
We Will Grow Them 
From year to year, we have continued our policy of trial and 
elimination because we are convinced that the best interests of our 
customers will be served by a minimum number of varieties, to include 
only the best of the old and the new — -those which we confidently be¬ 
lieve to be the most distinctive and beautiful in form and color, the 
strongest growers, and the most reliable bloomers, as well as the most 
generally satisfactory and profitable cut-flower varieties in existence. 
For various reasons, however it will be impossible for us to offer 
each year all of the varieties we are growing but we hope to always 
offer a list containing some of the finest new varieties, as well as the 
commercial kinds. Our customers, in buying Peonies from us, may do 
so with the definite assurance that our list of varieties will constantly 
improve as newer and better varieties are made available. 
We wish to assure our customers that we have consistently main¬ 
tained our usual high standard in properly caring for our Peonies, and 
in keeping them true to name. Our customers will have all orders 
filled with only the best quality roots, cut from young thrifty plants, 
liberally graded and true to name — just such roots as we, ourselves 
would be proud to receive and plant. 
Sincerely, 
HARMEL PEONY COMPANY. 
“THE LIBERAL SIZE AND FINE QUALITY OF OUR 
WELL BALANCED DIVISIONS WILL PLEASE YOU.”
