The originator’s name and the date when

The inches designate the height to the top 
of the bloom. 
Seven technical terms used in describing 
the types of blooms are: 
Single-Having a single row of wide petals 
encircling a mass of golden pollen-bearing 
> 
stamens. 
Japanese-Having single row of wide 
j| petals encircling a mass of transformed 
I 1 stamens, called petaloids, generally more

Size of Peony Roots 
We include one eye divisions, of the higher 
priced varieties, for these familiar with their 
care, but orders for one eye divisions must 
be received by us by October I st. 
We specify a definite number of stalks 
for each size offered, as a two-year plant of 
one firm may be as large as a three-year one 
grown in poorer soil. 
The stalks have generally borne flowers, so 
our system gives an idea of the probable 
blooms produced by each size. 
All but the division sizes are sent out as 
they are dug. 
One-Eve: A portion of a root with one 
eye cut from an older plant. 
Two-Eye: A large portion of a root with 
two to four eyes cut from an older plant. 
One-Year: A division root grown one 
year, with one or two stalks of this year s 
growth. 
Two-Year: A root grown two years since 
divided, with two to five stalks. 
Three-Year: A root grown three years 
since divided, with six or more stalks. 
A two year 
root with 
three stalks 
of the current 
year’s growt

id eight 
strong eyes. 
Our unique guarantee means a square deal 
to all who buy from us. This is the thirteenth 
year for this guarantee. It says: “We will 
replace with three eveiy plant blooming un¬ 
true to description.” That’s fair, isn’t it?
