To fall in love with a flower is easy. To so love that flower 
that, in order to have others know it as well, one is willing to 
give away all he grows, is the essence of unselfishness and gen¬ 
erosity. 
Wlien Henry S. Cooper, peony fan, embarked in the business 
of growing peonies for pleasure, he little dreamed of the extra¬ 
ordinary consequences which the growing of vast quantities of 
his favorite flower might produce. Year after year he added 
a few—so it seemed to him—and when at last he took stock he 
discovered that he had thirteen acres of them. 
Now thirteen acres of peonies means a good many thousand 
plants, and several thousand peony plants means several hundred 
thousand flowers. So when the prospect of a surplus of one 
hundred thousand peonies loomed up last June, Henry Cooper 
did some tall thinking. 
The result was one of the greatest and most memorable sur 
prises ever given to the sick and invalid peoples of one state. 
During the blooming season Henry Cooper shipped approxi¬ 
mately one hundred thousand peony flowers to the various 
hospitals and charitable institutions of his state. Many a poor 
soul that had never before seen the wonders of an unfolding 
peony hud became a convert to this lovely flower. 
If you would know Cooper, the man, you should write for 
his unique treatise on peonies entitled “Unvarnished Facts and 
Tips and Pointers.” It is too expensive a book to be sent out 
to those who do not care, in particular, about particular peonies. 
But it will be gladly mailed on receipt of twenty-five cents, 
which price will be rebated in connection with subsequent 
orders. If you feel that the hook is not worth the price paid, 
your money will be cheerfully refunded by the author, whose 
full name and address is
