THE PEONY GARDENS

Will it ease your cares a little, sponger in 
your heart a joy; 
Lend a trifle of sweet pleasure to your little girl 
or boy. 
To rove o'er the hills and valleys 'mong the 
flowers and the trees; 
Vie?/ the blooms and smell the fragrance wafted on 
the soft June breeze? 
Then we'll bid you come and welcome to enjoy 
the season's bloom. 
That proclaims Christ's resurrection from the 
darkness of the tomb; 
View the iris' silken luster in their many 
rain-bow hues. 
Wear your calicos and dusters and your old every¬ 
day shoes. 
For the fields are soft and mellow where the 
peonies nod and sway. 
Bring your dinner if it please you and enjoy the 
grounds all day. 
Should you wish to gather flowers to your 
dining table grace; 
Take home in a jar of water; you may cut them 
any place. 
Our old price will be our new one; just a 
nickel for a stem. 
Ten to twelve inch is the best length to preserve 
the life of them; 
3ut you're welcome to enjoy them tho you wish 
or not to buy. 
Short the season of their beauty and it soon 
will be passed by. 
Respectfully yours, 
Herbert F. Warren
