ISBELL SEED COMPANY 
A Border of Peonies Blake a Marvelous Showing. 
Isbell’s Magnificent Free Blooming Peonies 
The Peony is a noble flower, almost rivaling the rose in coloring, perfection of bloom and fragrance. It is perfectly 
hardy without protection; is not troubled with insect pests or diseases, and once planted takes care of itself, increas¬ 
ing in size and profusion of bloom each year. They last a lifetime and longer. 
The roots you get from us are field grown, large and healthy, showing 3 to 5 good eyes. 
Plant in spring, in well enriched soil; bone meal is the best fertilizer. Plant just as early as possible and you are 
likely to have some flowers the first summer. Set the roots with crown or eyes covered not more than *Z or 3 inches. 
An open, sunny location is best. PLEASE NOTE OUR VERY LOW PRICES ON BEST QUALITY.
