The Brand Peony Farms 
The largest plant breeding establishment in the 
world that is devoted to the originating of new 
varieties of the Peony. 
Last year the members of the American Peony 
Society voted upon the comparative merits of all 
the good named peonies of the world. Accord¬ 
ing to this vote where a flower received not less 
than 20 votes there were 22 varieties that received 
a vote of 90 or better. 
Right now there’s 
a very destructive 
foe in your garden, 
on shrubs and flow¬ 
ers—it’s Aphis. It 
attacks leaves and 
stems. 
You can kill Aphis, 
Thrip, Leaf Hopper and 
similar sap-sucking in¬ 
sect-pests on trees, 
stirubs, vines, vegetables, and 
flowers by spraying them 
with “BLACK LEAK 40” 
(nicotine sulphate). 
Bottle, making about 6 gallons 
of spray 35c. Order it through 
your dealer in 
ample time for 
your needs.

O UR aristocrats of spring 
flowers—the PEONY and the 
IRIS—have been for a third of a 
century under theunceasing, lov¬ 
ing and specialized care of the 
Petersons, father and son. Peter¬ 
son’s Peonies and Iris are in a class 
by themselves—strong, hardy and 
vigorous. Noted for their brilliant 
hue, coloring and fragrance. Where 
intelligent selections are made a 
gorgeous, artistic effect is produced 
by either Iris or Peonies. 
PETERSON’S 
Master List of Peonies 
We have concentrated our efforts on 
a select number of standardized vari¬ 
eties best known to and in demand by 
the peony fancier—quality varieties 
recognized as the sure-to-bloom,large 
flowering kind, with well developed 
root and eye system. Peonies are easy 
to grow when properly planted at the 
right time and in the right soil. Suc¬ 
cess with the Peterson peony in every 
variety listed is assured if planting 
directions are followed. Ourjudgment 
as to the most desirable varieties has 
been recently confirmed by the rating 
ballot of thePeony Society,all of which 
are explained in thorough and com¬ 
prehensive detail in the Petersonbook. 
It is handsomely illustrated, contains 
a fund of valuable information and 
every peony lovershould have it. It’s 
free for the asking. Several valuable 
specimens not yet rated are also in¬ 
cluded. You see we keep in advance, 
constantly presenting something 
new, when we find the merited article 
in the form of a new peony. 
PETERSON’S 
Master List of Iris 
Will assist you in a selection of these re¬ 
markable flowers, classifying, as they do. 
colors, seasonable blooming period and 
fully describing each kind and variety. 
We offer in addition to the varieties 
yielding the highest ballot in Iris some 
as yet not generally known. This is true 
of both our Peony and Iris Master List 
Selections. 
Peterson’s Unique Guarantee as applied 
to both Peonies and Iris states empha- 
u tieally “We will replace with three any /, 
)s plant blooming not true to description.' ( ( 
Iris shipped after July 1st; Peonies after ^ 
September 1st. Orders for one-eye peony 
divisions must be received before October 
1st. Peterson’s Master List of both 
Peonies and Iris are a part of the Peter¬ 
son book in broadside form, making it 
easy to select intelligently. Write for this 
book. It contains helpful information to 
flower lovers—it’s different.
