Let It Grow Dollars for You 
Invested in a greenhouse one dollar soon produces an¬ 
other. Others are making big profits in their spare time 
by growing out-of-season vegetables. YOU can too. 
And in addition a greenhouse will reduce your table ex¬ 
penses a large percent.

Peonies

I T is my sincere con¬ 
viction confirmed 
by an actual field 
experience extending 
over a period of more 
than 40 years that the 
true test of a good 
peony is the field test, 
and that only such vari¬ 
eties as will meet this 
test are really worth 
having. 
That is that the 
peony that will stand 
right up in the open 
field,take the direct rays 
of the beating sun, do 
this year after year and 
not go down, is the 
peony most desirable. 
This is the test ap¬ 
plied to all my best 
seedlings and for such 
qualities my best varie¬ 
ties have been selected. 
Such varieties are: 
Benjamin Franklin, 
Brand’s magnificent, 
Charles McKellip, Ches- 
tine Gowdy, E. B. 
Browning, Frances 
Willard, Henry Avery, 
Luetta Pfeiffer, Judge 
Berry, Lora Dexheimer, 
Longfellow, Martha 
Bulloch, Mary Brand, 
Mrs. A. G. Ruggles, 
Phoebe Carey and 
Richard Carvel. 
Of these varieties I 
now carry an immense 
stock and can supply 
roots in almost any size 
and quantity desired. 
You should have my 
beautiful new 1920 
Catalogue which is 
now out.
