THE peony is as hardy as a burr oak and 
absolutely free from insect enemies and disease. 
This is saying a good deal. In addition to this, 
the flowers are of immense proportions, some¬ 
times reaching nine inches in diameter, perfect¬ 
ly double and have a great range of color, from 
the purest white to the deepest crimson. Our 
peonies are strong 3 to 5 eye divisions taken 
from Three Year Clumps. This age and size 
have proven most satisfactory for the general 
trade.
