A Great Opportunity 
From present indications (September 17 th) 
it appears that the intending planter of Hol¬ 
land Bulbs, Hyacinths, Tulips, Crocus, etc., 
will be grievously disappointed this Fall. 
None of these bulbs, which usually arrive 
here in late August, has yet appeared, and 
while it is claimed that one bulb steamer sailed 
before the embargo was placed, there is no 
further definite news of it, and one report has 
this steamer recalled. 
At best, this country will receive but a por¬ 
tion of its usual allotment if any, and planted 
late as they must necessarily be, the planter’s 
success will be in diminishing measure. 
Your beds being ready, why not plant this 
Fall at least a few modern Peonies, and by 
planting 
PETERSON'S PERFECT PEONIES 
(acknowledged the world’s standard) from now until 
the ground freezes, you will be assured of having a 
splendid display of superb flowers early next Summer. 
And if you place these in your permanent bulb beds, 
they may be safely transplanted next Fall if desired. 
And, too, unlike Holland Bulbs, they will not “run 
out”, but will continue to increase year after year.
