The Peonies are Desirable 
PEONY (Single Blush)—In our estimation this is the most beautiful and satisfactory peony we 
have ever seen. The original plant obtained 40 years ago from a new unknown source, is still pro¬ 
ducing an abundant crop of flowers each season. We have never seen the same variety in other 
nurseries and have been entirely unable to obtain the same thing anywhere else, although we have 
made numerous attempts. We have a limited amount of nice plants propagated from our clump 
now ready for sale. Wherever we have sold any in the last few years we have received the high¬ 
est words of praise for it. Flowers large, delicate blush when it first opens, fading to white in a few 
days. Single, with large yellow center, giving it the appearance of a large water lily. Sweet scented. 
Blooms early and as all buds do not come out at the same time it is in bloom for a longer period 
than most peonies. Blooms young, almost invariably the first season, and this is true usually even 
when planted in the Spring. Plant strong and healthy. 50 cents each.

I want to get some more peonies, the ones I got from you have done so well. The SINGLE 
BLUSH I got from you three years ago has over 60 blooms on it now (it had two fine blooms the 
first season) and is much admired by everyone. I had some of the Dahlias got from you at the 
Flower Show in Sarnia last Fall and people were raving about them. So many thought they were 
some new’ kind of Chrysanthemums. The FLORADORA is the best bloomer of all I ever saw
