We recommend the shipping of small 
orders, say up to 12 peony roots, by parcel 
post. Our thorough method of packing 
makes this reasonably safe and almost as 
economical as by express. Send a liberal 
amount for postage and we will return what 
is not used. 
If roots should become dry or wilted be¬ 
fore planting immerse in water and plant in 
moist soil. They will be ready for business 
on the first approach of spring. 
Remember that to grow the finest peony 
all the lateral buds should be removed as 
soon as they are large enough to get at 
handily. This permits all the strength of 
the plants to go in the main central buds. 
Remember also to get a peony with the 
finest finish and the most delicate color 
tints it should be cut as buds are beginning 
to open and left to develop indoors. Fine 
results can be had in the open by enclosing 
the buds in a paper sack. 
Ants that sometimes make their appear¬ 
ance on peony buds are perfectly harmless. 
Thanking our many friends for their lib¬ 
eral patronage in the past and wishing all 
great joy and success in the cultivation of 
the beautiful in the future, we remain yours 
for further service.
