After the Blooming Season 
Seed-pods and remains of flowers should be cut 
off, but do not under any circumstances remove 
foliage until late frost. 
Diseases and Insects 
The Peony is practically immune from general 
diseases. See to it that you get healthy plants to 
begin with and you will have little to fear. Write 
us for advice about specific problems that may 
arise from time to time. 
Trueness 
Desirable as it is to get fine, strong roots, it is 
of even greater importance that stock be true to 
name, and it is in this phase of the business that 
we especially challenge comparisons. During the 
blooming season our personal time is devoted 
almost exclusively to the study of varieties and 
proving stock and during the past five years not 
even one“rogue” or mixture has appeared in our 
entire plantings. The pith of all of this is well, 
if briefly, expressed in this enthusiastic state¬ 
ment of a patron, “If you get it of Peterson, 
it’s true.” 
American Peony Society Ratings 
The figures in back of the introducer’s name of 
each variety represent the ratings placed upon 
the different varieties by a vote of the members 
of the American Peony Society. For instance, 
the figures 9.1 following Lady Alexandra Duff 
show its comparative standing in a vote where 
10 represents perfection. These ratings are a 
fair measure of the merit and desirability of 
certain varieties so far as the individual flower 
is concerned. Before a variety is admitted to our 
collection, we also consider its blooming qualities 
and general plant performance to be very im¬ 
portant. Some of the highest rated Peonies 
possess somewhat temperamental blooming 
qualities. 
PEONY PRICES 
Our basic price, as noted after each variety, is for a 1-year 
plant (a large division grown one year in the nursery row). 
For 2-year plants, add 50 per cent to the 1-year price 
For 3-year plants, double the price of 1-year 
All three sizes available except where noted 
The increase in price for the older plants is in proportion to the added years of 
care and cultivation in our fields.
