Better Peonies 
A Peony in Illinois'has been bloom¬ 
ing for 136 years. 
In selecting a place for planting, be 
sure you are getting it where you want 
it—they do not like to be moved. 
Dig a big hole and fill it in with good 
soil. Place the root so the buds are not 
more than two inches below the surface. 
Do not let flowers form the first year. 
Large, well balanced roots. 
Plant September to April. 
Unless otherwise noted, prices are 30c 
each or three of a kind, 75c.

the early dark red kinds, large flowers 
on strong stems, dark green foliage with 
a tinge of red on the stems,

son after the Officinalis sorts, this light 
pink, crown-type flower is very welcome.

Therese, rated just two points, out 
of ten, less than perfect, this flower oc¬

center. Color is uniform light violet- 
rose, shading to lilac white. $1.00. 
Lilyan Pink Poppy. 
This is our own creation, (the result 
of hundreds of crosses,) an absolutely 
new oriental poppy that has been tested 
thru four blooming seasons. It is hardy, 
produces many large flowers of the true 
oriental type but of a new and beautiful 
shade of brilliant, but soft, pink. A large 
pure black center adds a striking con¬ 
trast. Stock is limited. Price per plant, 
25c. 
Colchicum—Fall Crocus 
Colchicum, also called Fall Crocus. 
Blooms in August whether in the ground 
or lying on a window sill, without soil 
or water. We have had as high as 
twenty flowers from one large bulb. 
Plant out doors in the early fall. They 
throw up a beautiful plant early in the 
spring. This dies down in June to be 
followed by the flowers in the late sum¬ 
mer.
