O UR aristocrats of spring flowers—the 
PEONY andthelRIS—have been for 
a third of a century under the unceasing, 
loving and specialized care of the Peter¬ 
sons, father and son. Peterson’s Peonies 
and Iris are in a class by themselves— 
strong, hardy and vigorous. Noted for 
their brilliant hue, coloring and fragrance. 
Where intelligent selections are made a gorgeous, 
artistic effect is produced by either Iris or Peonies. 
PETERSON’S 
Master Lists of Peonies and Iris 
will assist you In the selection of these remarkable 
flowers, classifying as they do, colors, seasonable 
blooming periods and fully describing each kind 
and variety. We offer in addition to the varieties 
awarded the highest ballot, some as yet not gener¬ 
ally known, 
Peterson’s Unique Guarantee states plainly * We 
will replace with three any plant blooming not true 
to description.” We also replace any article that 
might be received in bad condition. 
As the commonly known 5 foot library contains 
representative gems of all that is best of the 
world’s literature, so the Peterson’s Master Lists 
embrace only the representative gems of the best 
Peonies and Iris known. 
A Long Step Forward 
This year we removed the only remaining uncer¬ 
tainty by definitely specifying actual number of 
eyes each size of plant must have. This removes 
the guess and adds a new and certain feature to our 
make-good methods of doing business. We now 
give you five different sizes of Peony roots to choose 
from and specify the minimum number of eyes 
each size must have. You know in advance just 
what you are getting. 
Iris shipped after July 1. Peonies after September 
1. Orders for one and two eye Peony divisions 
must be received before October 1. 
We Prepay all Delivery Charges 
Peterson’s Master Lists of both Peonies and Iris are 
a part of the Peterson book in broadside form, 
making it easy to select intelligently. It is conven¬ 
iently classified and gives the latest official rulings 
of the Peony and Iris Societies. 
Even though you know the exact varieties you 
want our unique guarantee of 14 years assures you 
of getting them.
