extensive growing and. careful study¬ 
ing of the herbaceous peony, we present

every hybridizer of note.

our painstaking comparisons that the 
varieties retained are only those of 
the highest standard of excellence. 
STOCK AND LOW PRICES 
Our stock is guaranteed true to description and we will REPLACE WITH 
THREE any that prove not true. We can make this UNPARALLELED 
guarantee because of the extreme care we have always used in growing our stock. 
Our responsibility, coupled with our unique guarantee and large stock,

Any Peony or Iris is much surer to bloom, and will be twenty per cent 
stronger, if moved in September, so that new rootlets may form before freez¬ 
ing down. This gives a great advantage to home-grown stock over imported 
plants, which invariably come too late.
