Quality and Service 
Nothing’ gives us more real pleasure than the know¬ 
ledge that our Peonies and Service are giving satisfaction 
to our customers. Proof of this is contained in the many 
letters which we receive from old and new customers con¬ 
taining statements such as “They were the finest box of 
roots I have ever received.'’ Further proof is in the fact 
that during the fall season of 1935 we received and filled 
a greater number of orders for Peony Roots than during 
any fall season since we began growing Peonies. A large 
proportion of this business came from old customers. 
We are truly grateful to our old customers for their 
continued confidence and patronage, and for recommending 
our Peonies to others who are interested in purchasing. 
We will endeavor to merit this confidence by continuing to 
maintain our usual high standard in properly caring for 
our Peonies and keeping them true to name—and, offering 
a minium number of varieties that will include only the 
best of the old and the new—those which we confidently 
believe to be the most distinctive and beautiful in form 
and color, the strongest growers, and the most reliable 
bloomers, as well as the most generally satisfactory and 
profitable cut-flower varieties in existence. 
Our customers, in buying Peonies from us, may do so 
with the definite assurance that our list of varieties will 
constantly improve as newer and better varieties are made 
available. Many of the newly introduced Peonies are not 
worthy of a place among the best of the older varieties. 
When better Peonies are originated, we will grow them. 
Sincerely, 
HARMEL PEONY COMPANY. 
“THE LIBERAL SIZE AND FINE QUALITY OF OUR 
WELL BALANCED DIVISIONS WILL PLEASE YOU.”
