FARR’S SUPERB PEONIES 
FOR EARLY FALL PLANTING 
The modern Peony is the aristocrat of the hardy garden. Its ancestors were 
highly prized in the gardens of the Emperors of China more than a thousand 
years ago. But they only became known to the western world when they were 
introduced into the gardens of Louis Phillipe, of France, in the nineteenth cen¬ 
tury. Later, these specimens came into the hands of M. Caillot, of Nancy, 
thence to M. Crousse. Years ago I began to import these Peonies; soon I be¬ 
came so infatuated that I could not be satisfied until I had them all in my 
possession, and to-day there are described in my book 
Farr’s Hardy Plant Specialties 
over five hundred varieties, every one of clear pedigree. For many years I 
have devoted my entire time during the blooming season to studying Peonies. 
I have spared neither time nor expense to make my list authentic and accurate, 
and this list, large as it is, contains only the varieties of known origin, all 
duplicates having been omitted. 
This book also contains a list of nearly five hundred varieties of Iris (many 
of them of my own hybridizing) for which I was awarded a gold medal at the 
Panama-Pacific Exposition, a splendid collection of Oriental Poppies, hardy 
Phloxes, Roses, and shrubs that may be planted with perfect safety this fall. 
If you do not have a copy, send for it to-day — I will gladly mail it without 
charge.

your concrete walls 
concrete. Not only unsightly, 
but means damp walls. 
Bay State 
Brick and Cement 
Coating 
prevents all this. It seals the pores of 
the concrete or stucco, making the walls 
absolutely weatherproof. 
As shown on the house to the right, “Bay 
State” waterproofs and beautifies without 
losing the distinctive texture of cement. 
You can get “Bay State” in white and a 
variety of beautiful tints. As an interior 
finish, too, it is without an equal. 
If your house is concrete, stucco or brick, 
or if you* re going to build, send for the 
Bay State Booklet No. 8 and tint card.
