WHOLESALE LIST FOR FLORISTS, LANDSCAPERS AND NURSERYMEN 
PEONIES 
It has been said that the Peonies are the poor man’s Rhododendron. We believe that they are even more than that. When 
they are once planted and become established they last for many years. Their deep green foliage is always an ornament in 
any style of planting. In addition to the foliage, in season the Peonies produce flowers that everyone reallyi admires. They 
are very easily cared for and it seems that with the years they continue getting better. 
A few years ago a planting of Peonies represented a big investment. This we believe slowed up their sales. We never 
asked high prices for our Peonies, instead we propagated the varieties we paid big money for and produced them in quant¬ 
ities so that we could sell them to our customers at what we consider reasonable prices. There are many Peonies on the 
market now at ridiculously low prices. We believe that most of these are dug from neglected fields and are poor in vitality. 
Such a Peony is too expensive at any price. If a Peony once goes down in vitality it never regains. For the reason that 
we have cultivated our fields continuously, we now have one of the best assortments in existence and our plants are first class 
in every respect. Giving this all due consideration, you will find that our prices are very reasonable. Whether you buy small 
or large quantities you will find our Peonies a real good investment.
