WHEN YOU BUY 
PEONY ROOTS 
THIS ROOT GROW 
• Notice the small size, the lack of full, firm flesh. 
Only one major eye. Evidence of careless cutting. 
This peony MAY grow, yes, but it's much more likely 
to die. If it does grow it may not bloom the first 
year, may be weak and dwarfed for many years. 
Yet every year people buy thousands of roots no 
better than this. 
FOR THIS ONE 
• Not dug to order, but dried and withered in stor¬ 
age between digging and planting. Not a single 
major eye in this "bargain” division! Notice how it 
compares with the big, healthy Auglaize LIFETIME 
Peony Root in the center circle. 
BUT YOU CAN ORDER FROM 
AUGLAIZE GARDENS... ND BE SURE! 
• Every Auglaize Root division is taken from a strong, vigorous three-year- 
old plant. These plants have been nurtured for propagation purposes only. 
It's the slowest, most costly method—but it's the only way lifetime strength 
and flawless beauty can be stored in a plant root. You get these features in 
every Auglaize root: FIVE MAJOR EYES; FIRM, FULL FLESH; FRESHLY DUG 
FROM CLEAN, IRRIGATED THREE-YEAR-OLD STOCK; CAREFULLY DIVIDED, 
and TRUE TO NAME AND TYPE.
