Herbaceous Peonies.H h a e rd c y n ®very * 1 whSI 
The demand for fine Peonies is growing with each year, and every llorist should have at least a small plantation of 
them from which to supply his trade, both for the plants and for cutting the bloom. One can make no more profitable 
investment. The bloom, if cut in the bud state, lasts for a week or more. We offer as choice a list of Peonies as you 
will find in this country. To the collector, the varieties named will be attractive. To those who wish to increase their 
stock of desirable sorts, this list will appeal, and to the nurseryman and dealers who buy to sell, there will be found a 
list of choice varieties at moderate cost. We started some years ago to grow Peonies, and we believe that no firm in 
this country has such a large planting of valuable sorts as we. Our endeavor is always to lead and not to follow in 
any branch of the floral business we undertake. We will make Good & Reese Peonies as much of a household word 
as G. & R. Roses, so do not forget us when in need of Peonies. We can supply them (referring to the price) from 
the aristocrat to the plebeian. We guarantee our Peonies true to name. The plants we offer are divisions (from plants 
two to three years old) with two to five or more eyes. We always give value. We supply six at dozen, 25 at hundred, 
and 250 at thousand rates. For any varieties not listed, write us for prices. 
Peonies for Pleasure 
The little brochure, “Peonies for Pleasure,” gives full 
information of the history of the Peony, the only plant that 
has a registered list of named varieties for over fourteen 
hundred years. 
“Peonies for Pleasure” tells how and when to plant, the 
soil and plants to use; fertilizers, and how to apply. It 
names the early, medium and late varieties for long suc¬ 
cession of bloom. It describes the old and new, the plebe¬ 
ian and the aristocrat, of the Peony family. 
The early red, white and pink Peonies of our grand¬ 
mothers’ gardens are almost the only ones generally 
known. Dear patrons, these are the plebeians of the 
family; if you wish to know the Peony aristocrats, send 
for this little treatise. 
To all interested in the Peony a copy will be mailed on 
application.

Seedling Peonies 
You do not know what colored flowers you will get, but 
every one will be handsome; many of them will be single 
and resemble huge butterflies of white, red, pink, crimson, 
etc., while others will be double. 
Be sure and try some of these seedlings. Do not ask 
us to send any special oolor, as no one knows the color 
until they bloom.
