VAUGHAN’S SEED STORE, CHICAGO AND NEW YORK, BOOK FOR FLORISTS 
Vaughan*s Peonies 
5 of a Kind at the 10 Rate—25 of a Kind at the 100 Rate 
\\/E HAVE an exceptionally large stock of our own growing. Strictly true 
to name, all in strong divisions, with from 3 to 5 eyes each. 
The figures preceding the varieties are the rating given to them by the 
American Peony Society. 
Peonies in established plantings need to be fed each Spring. A top-dressing 
of Vaughan’s Plant Ration (5-8-7) well worked in will do wonders, but it should 
be applied early.
