Peonies ! 
P EONIES are so dependable ! Each year just about Memorial 
Day, when flowers are most desired, they return, bringing a 
gay mantle of color and fragrance to the garden. For the little 
care that they require, they pay bounteous dividends of pure 
delight! You’ll enjoy them indoors, too, for they are excellent 
for cutting.

“ Some single Peonies, 
like great wild roses with 
hearts of gold, should 
certainly be included in 
your collection.” Prof. 
A. P. Saunders in Garden 
Magazine. 
S OME single peonies by all means! Then, too, there 
are the gorgeous Japanese varieties so closely akin. 
These have the stamens and anthers enlarged into 
narrow thick petaloids tipped with vestiges of yellow 
anthers, but without pollen. 
Long years, I have watched over the peony beds, 
selecting and improving. Those varieties which fell 
below our exacting standard have been rejected, and 
promising new ones introduced. 
My Peony Catalog is a reliable guide to the best in 
Peonies. You can also select your Irises and other 
Hardy Perennials from it with full assurance of satis^ 
faction. This book is yours for the asking. Write today.

Most of California’s wild flowers are absolute exotics in gardens 
else-vhere. Their vivid colors and original forms always prove 
delightful and entertaining. Among the most desirable are the 
lovely Dog’s-tooth Violets, which have proved successful in such 
widely separated districts as Michigan, Montreal, Delaware, 
Minnesota and Massachusetts. Plant them in colonies in a shady 
location, and enjoy their dainty blooms each season thereafter. 
Let me recommend four that offer a wide contrast 
of color: 
Erythronium Californicum. A fine creamy tint. 
500 for $6.25, 1,000 for $10. 
E. Hendersonii is delicate lavender with maroon 
center. 
E. Citrinum is light cream with rich citron center. 
E. grandiflorum robustum has the bright yellow 
of buttercups. 
These three may be had in lots of 500 for $7.50, 
1,000 for $12.50. 
All of them are pictured in color in my new Cali¬ 
fornia Bulb catalog. Other illustrations show Mari¬ 
posa Tulips, Lilies, Ferns, and other hardy plants. 
Ask for a copy. 
My Perennial Catalog lists a vast quantity of hardy 
plants. There are Irises at popular prices, and the 
latest of Vilmorin’s and Bliss’ seedlings. Then there 
are the aristocrats of the family, including Dominion 
at $25, and Ambassadeur and Magnifica at $10 each. 
You’ll also find rock and alpine plants, together with 
complete cultural notes. Ask for a copy of Perennial 
Plants.
