If we apply the old accepted saying about 1 
people to flowers, we say: "To know a flower 
you must live with it.” Why not? It is as 
true in one case as in the other. 
The Petersons, father and son, have lived 
with Peonies and Iris continuously for two 
generations. They have studied them, 
labored with them, loved them and watched 
them develop year after year with painstaking care. They have trav¬ 
eled to foreign shores to discover and bring back newer, better varieties. 
They are pioneers in the production of the two specialties to which 
Peterson’s Nursery has been devoted for a third of a century. 
This is a picture of what the Peterson Nursery has to offer the dis¬ 
criminating lover of flowers. It explains their assurance of perfect 
safety in making this unusual guarantee with every delivery: "We will 
replace with three, every plant blooming untrue to description.” This 
is a three-to-one square deal; satisfied customers is the object. 
In giving you this unique guarantee the Peterson Nursery removes
