MOUTAN TREE PEONY 
JAPANESE TREE PEONIES, continued 
older before they bloom. There is a limited supply of Japanese 
varieties grown on their own roots which are the most desirable of 
all, but they are quite expensive. 
I have a set of Japanese water-color drawings of these Peo¬ 
nies, which will be sent for examination on receipt of twenty-live 
cents, to cover postage. These drawings liiust be returned, but if 
Peonies are ordered the amount sent for postage will be allowed on 
the price of the Peonies.

arrive in time for fall delivery, and, in this event, will be stored and 
delivered early in the spring. 
HERBACEOUS PEONIES 
(Ready in September) 
It gives us great pleasure to see the increasing popularity of Peonies, and 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 tbere 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 roses 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 can be planted any time during the fall and spring, but if planted in September they will bloom the following 
season. Of many varieties offered in the following list, we can supply if ordered before September 10 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 
dumps a fine display of flowers can be had next June.
