Plant Peonies in September 
DEONIES can be and are planted at any time during the spring and fall, but September is the very best time for transplanting 
* them, and if planted then they will bloom the following June; if large undivided clumps are planted, a splendid display of 
bloom can be had. Peonies are one of our great specialties, and our list of varieties is the most comprehensive in America. We 
have now over fifty thousand plants to offer. SPECIMEN PLANTS—Of many varieties we can furnish large undivided 
clumps at three times the price quoted below or in our catalogue. Immediate effects can be obtained by planting these large clumps. 
The finer varieties of Peonies surpass the finest roses in coloring, form and size. They are absolutely hardy and of the easiest 
culture. They should be planted in deep, rich soil, three to four feet apart. Below we offer a small selection of extra fine 
and good varieties, but can supply over three hundred sorts. Our price list, the most comprehensive catalogue of Hardy 
Plants, Trees, Shrubs and Bulbs published, may be had for the asking. Write for catalogue or make order on order blank below.
