Herbaceous Peonies 
The demand .for fine Peonies is growing with each year, 
and every florist 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 mod¬ 
erate 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 anv 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. \\ e 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 eves. 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 Profit”

Wholesale Price List of Peonies—“Peonies 
for Profit”—that Contains all the Old and

“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 va¬ 
rieties 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 succession of bloom. It describes 
the old and new, the plebeian and the aristocrat, 
of the Peony family. 
The early red, white and pink Peonies of our 
grandmothers’ gardens are almost the only ones 
generally known. Dear patrons, these are the ple¬ 
beians of the family; if you wish to know the 
Peony aristocrat, send for this little treatise. 
To all Interested in the Peony a copy will be 
mailed on application. 
Size of Roots 
We grade our roots as follows: 
1st Size, Divided Roots — This is a root divided until 
it has from two to five eyes. This is the size we 
always plant and we recommend this for general 
planting, both as to the desirability of its low 
cost and the results obtained. 
2d Size, One-Year Roots —This is a 1st size divided 
root of two to five eyes planted and grown for 
one year, then dug and sold you as it comes from 
the ground. 
3d Size, Two-Year Roots— This is the 2d size left in 
the ground one year longer and sold you as it 
comes from the soil. 
4th Size, Tliree-Year Roots — This is the 3d size left 
in the ground one year longer and sold you as it 
comes from the soil.
