You are right. Your Peony roots ex¬ 
cel all others, as I have found. Here is 
another order. Mrs. James Parrish. 
Peterson s 
Perfect Peonies 
Again Prove Invincible 
At the national exhibition of the American 
Peony Society, held in New York last June, and 
in competition with the leading growers of the 
country, they won first prize for the best 25 
varieties. 
A week later, in Boston, at the big exhibition 
of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 
this achievement was duplicated; in fact, my 
peonies won six chief first prizes out of seven 
entries. 
We never compete in the largest collection 
class (we have, for your protection, thrown 
away more varieties than we now grow), which 
brings to the exhibition tables tight, green buds 
and flowers which would disgrace an amateur’s 
exhibit. 
“PETERSON’S PERFECT PEONIES” 
are the natural result of 23 years of enthusias¬ 
tic—yes, loving devotion. 
They are peonies of accomplishment and not 
merely those of clever advertising, which may 
never have won a prize. 
The modern peony is the greatest flower of 
our day. 
How about it this fall?
