Peterson. 
I have this day sold to Northbrook 
Gardens, Glencoe, Illinois, P. L. 
Battey, Prop., all of my remain¬ 
ing stock of peonies, in addition 
to large quantities previously pur¬ 
chased, including over seventy-five 
varieties rating from 8.6 to 9.9 
inclusive, also most of the best 
new unrated varieties, together 
with my complete mailing and 
customer lists, all cuts and forms 
for continuing my Master List 
of Peonies. 
It is my understanding that Mr. 
Battey intends to maintain the 
same high quality of stock and 
service, which has been my prac- 
ice for so many years. 
(Signed) Wm. A. Peterson 
The World’s Tlest Varieties 
We have purchased from Mr. Wm. A. 
Peterson, a large quantity of peony stock 
in all of the best varieties and will be able 
next September, to supply fine, healthy 
plants direct from the Peterson Nursery 
where they are now growing. 
Peterson’s Peonies have been noted for their 
vigor, floriferousness, coloring and fragrance. 
Those who know the quality of Mr. Peterson’s 
plants will appreciate this opportunity. 
All roots furnished will be under our 3 for 1 
guarantee (formerly made by Peterson Nursery 
and which we shall continue on exactly the same 
basis). Our unique guarantee states plainly— 
“We will replace with three, any plant blooming 
not true to description.” 
NORTHBROOK GARDENS 
MASTER LIST OF PEONIES 
(Formerly issued by Peterson Nursery) 
will assist you in the selection of these remark¬ 
able flowers, classifying as they do colors, season¬ 
able blooming periods and fully describing each 
kind and variety. We offer in addition to the 
varieties awarded the highest ballot, some fine 
ones as yet not generally known. 
Your copy may be had for the asking. 
Two sizes of plants will be available. The old 
time large division giving earlier maturity. 
Two eye balanced root division 
This is a division with ample crown material, 
two well developed buds (or eyes) and a root sys¬ 
tem balancing the crown, giving a vigorous plant 
needing no coddling to produce strong, satisfac¬ 
tory growth. 
Three to five eye standard root division 
Our own large stock is grown in the deep black 
clay loam of Northern Illinois under ideal condi¬ 
tions for Peonies. Our place is located five miles 
due west of Glencoe on concrete road (twenty 
miles north of Chicago).
