The Lure of the Peony 
to him or her who happily knows it in its modern va¬ 
rieties, is irresistible — an ever increasing charm and 
delight as the years come on. 
Think of a flower with a range of delicacy and color¬ 
ing which a de Longpre might well despair of imitat¬ 
ing — a fragrance which a Colgate, a Gallet might envy 
— and you have the Peony of to-day. 
Think too, of a flower easier to grow than a ge¬ 
ranium—that when once planted lasts, with yearly in¬ 
crease in volume and beauty, as long as the planter — 
and longer — and again you have the Peony. 
And the wonder of it all is that perhaps you are 
still in ignorance of the merits of this the most beau¬ 
tiful flower of our day — that your knowledge is limited 
to the “Piny” of your childhood. 
MARIE JAGQUIN ’ Some day, by chance or otherwise, you will some¬ 
where see blooming PETERSON’S PERFECT 
PEONIES and then regret that you did not know of them before. 
And then remember please that my Peonies represent the cream of the World’s achievement 
—the best that money can buy. 
That their enviable reputation is due to eighteen years of enthusiastic devotion — that for 
years, with no other business enterprise, I have given my entire time exclusively to this flower 
and the Rose; and remembering all this, can you'wonder that “Peterson Peonies” are spoken 
of as in a class by themselves? AND THEY ARE. 
May I prove it to you? 
My catalog, reflecting the quality of my Peonies, is mailed on request.
