TREE PEONIES 
Our stock of these splendid Shrubby Peonies is the largest 
in America 
The Japanese varieties are the most beautiful but the most diffi¬ 
cult to grow on account of suckering. The European varieties are 
grafted on herbaceous roots and do not sticker. 
JAPANESE VARIETIES 
Fine blooming plants (grafted) in 25 choice varieties, $1 each, 
$10 per doz. 
Extra selected blooming plants in 25 choice varieties, $1.50 
each, $15 per doz. 
Japanese Tree Peonies arrive so late in the fall that generally 
we can not deliver them until spring.

MOOTAN TURK PEONY 
HERBACEOUS PEONIES (Ready in September) 
It gives us great pleasure to see the increasing popularity of Peonies, for there is nothing more deserving, and when the merit and 
beauty of the newer varieties are known every garden will contain a large collection Like the Irishman’s whiskey, all varieties of Peonies 
are good, even the commonest old-fashioned sorts, but there is no language to describe the glorious beauty of the finest of the newer varie¬ 
ties. In no flower has there been such a marked improvement, and they actually surpass the finest rose in size, form and coloring, and 
their ease of culture and extreme hardiness are too well known to enlarge upon. Always having a keen appreciation of these superb flowers, 
we have for years collected all the varieties obtainable in the world, and now have the largest collection of varieties and the most extensive 
stock in America. Peonies planted in August or September will bloom the following season. Of many varieties offered in the following 
list, we can supply large undivided clumps at from three to five times the prices quoted—prices depending upon how many salable plants 
the clump would make if divided. By planting these undivided clumps a fine display of flowers can be had next season.
