FARR'S PEONIES 
Strong — Healthy — True to Name 
—Plant Now—Gain a Year’s Time 
— And Have Blooms Next June. 
Unequaled in splendor and stateliness, 
Peonies were the charm of the old-fashioned 
hardy garden, and the wonderful new varie¬ 
ties recently introduced, are the chief glory 
of the hardy garden of today. 
100,000 Peonies in Over 500 Varieties 
I have spent ten years in the effort to make the WYOMISSING COL¬ 
LECTION OF PEONIES, complete and authentic. I can guarantee them 
to be true to name for I grow and know every variety I offer. 
I grow Peonies and other things:—Irises, with a shimmering of soft, iri¬ 
descent color throughout the “Iris Time*’of early spring. Later a blaze 
of Phloxes and a sea of blue where the Delphiniums rear their spires. But 
in “Peony Time” the Queen of the Hardy Garden reigns supreme, our de¬ 
votion to her shown not less loyally because one has loved the Iris which 
has passed, or that we mav enjoy the later treasures the garden has 
in store. My book of HARDY PLANT SPECIALTIES tells all about 
these. Let me send it to you—free.

THISTLE - INE 
The Great Weed Destroyer 
Positively Kills 
Poison Ivy, Sumac, Canada Thistles, 
Burdock, Wild Morning Glory, and 
All Noxious Weeds. 
Mr. E. Herman of York, Pa., Requesting advice 
from Mr. F. Rockefeller, received the following: 
Cleveland, Ohio. January 8th, 1908 
Mr. E. Herman, 
York. Penn., 
Dear Sir:— 
Replying to your letter of the 14th instant, 1 
have used a great deal of Thistle-ine. I dissolve it and 
use it according to directions on the can. I use a 
syringe and after pulling up a Canada thistle, partially 
fill the hole with the liquid, or spray the liquid over 
the thistle. 1 have killed thousands of them and have 
never had any trouble, and have repeatedly examined 
them some time after spraying with the liquid. 1 
have never yet found a live Canada thistle after being 
treated in this way. I cannot understand why you 
should have any trouble. 1 do not believe I have ever 
made application more than once to the same thistle. 
Yours very truly,
