Our 
Peony Show 
-o- 
The month of June is Peony time. Our large 
fields with their million blooms are really worth 
seeing. Usually from the 15th to the 22nd of 
June our fields are at their best. 
During this time we exhibit our Peonies in 
true show form in a large cool building con¬ 
nected with our office. Here is the place to come 
to study varieties and see how they perform both 
in the field and in the show room. 
Visitors come from all parts of the country to 
see our gorgeous display. We invite each and 
every one of you to enjoy this feast of pleasure 
with us. Here we can give you our personal 
help in selecting your varieties, and here you 
will enjoy every hour spent with us. 
Besides Peonies and more Peonies, you will 
see other flowers and trees that will be of in¬ 
terest to you.
