Herbaceous Peonies 
READY IN SEPTEMBER) 
I am glad that this good old-fashioned flower is becoming popular again, and if there were nothing to he obtained but the few old- 
fashioned sorts once seen in every garden their popularity would be well deserved; but nothing has been improved more than the Peony, and 
the English and Japanese growers have given us varieties that are really superb. Many of them are equal in form and coloring to the finest 
roses, and some are* sweet-scented. Their hardiness, ease of culture and the great size and plentifulness of bloom make them extremely 
desirable and effective in the garden or on the lawn. They are most effective when planted in large masses of separate colors. I have made 
arrangements for supplying my customers with the best Peonies obtainable in America, Europe and Japan, and at the lowest prices con¬ 
sistent with the highest quality.
