MOUTAN TREE PEONY 
It gives ns great pleasure to see the increasing popularity of 
Peonies. There is nothing more deserving, and when the merit 
and beauty of the newer varieties are known every garden will con¬ 
tain 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 varieties. 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 ami 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 clumps a fine display of flowers can lie had next June.
