Perennial Seedlings 
and Peonies 
Attached is a list of our perennial seedlings 
which we have to offer this coming fall and next 
spring. These are now ready for shipment. We have 
exercised a great deal of care in making this selec¬ 
tion and have secured our seed from what we consid¬ 
er the most reliable source in the country to get 
true varieties. 
We have developed a system of packing that we 
think is second to none and we can assure you these 
plants will arrive at your place in good condition. 
We have done considerable research work on this 
and have asked for reports when we have made 
shipments to Massachusetts, Maine, Oregon, Wash¬ 
ington and other distant states. Invariably the reply 
has come back that the plants arrived in good con¬ 
dition. One party from Oregon wrote us that they 
were in better condition than plants that they had 
received from the next county. You need have no 
hesitancy on ordering on account of the distance. 
Last year we 'had an exceptionally large busi¬ 
ness and were out of plants and obliged to return 
many hundreds of dollars because we were sold out 
on some varieties. This year we anticipated a still 
larger business and have made our plantings accord¬ 
ingly. If you could get your order in early you will 
have it filled in full. Give us a try and you will not 
be disappointed. 
Not sold in less than dozen lots. 
No orders filled for less than one dollar. 
Very truly yours,
