Wanted—More Converts 
Comparatively few years ago I became converted to 
the belief that the Peony is the greatest hardy plant 
for America. At first they proved to be a good hobby; 
then they became an obsession and now I am out on a 
campaign to convert others to my own belief! 
My Collection embraces the one hundred varieties 
which are rated highest in the lists of the Peony Soci¬ 
eties. In addition I offer the best blossom producers 
for those desiring plenty of flowers for cutting or land¬ 
scape effects. As during the past few years, I now of¬ 
fer my surplus. Whether your garden is large or small 
and regardless of where you live, sooner or later you 
will want some Peonies;— 
Because :— 
Anybody can grow Peonies. 
Anybody’s purse can be suited. 
Anybody’s soil can grow these lovely flowers. 
All sections may enjoy them. 
No amount of neglect will harm them, and they 
don’t require a lot of “fussing” about. 
Write to-day for Special Circular of Collections made 
up to fill different wants, also special price list for 
1923. You should also send for a copy of the 
“Unvarnished Facts” Edition 
of “Tips and Pointers” 
Too expensive a book to send out indiscriminately, 
it will gladly be mailed on receipt of 25c—only a small 
fraction of its cost! Any one of many chapters will save 
you costly mistakes. The price of book will be rebated 
in connection with subsequent order for at least $5.00 
worth of Peonies, BUT—If you feel the book alone is 
not worth the price paid, return it and your money 
will be cheerfully refunded.
