THE aOOD & REESE CO.’S WHOLESALE TRADE LIST. 
Php* I Max/aI'^IPCI Under this heading we place the newer sorts that are yet scarce, and a few va- 
1 nw- 1-^ci.tWdL IXUVwltlwO rieties like Baroness Schroeder that have been introduced for some time, but for 
some unknown reason there has been no considerable stock of them propagated. You will hnd here some wonderful things by 
both Dessert and Lemoine, and while the price may seem high, yet when you consider the many good qualities they possess, 
you will have to admit that they are well worth every cent asked for them. For complete description of these novelties, see our 
brochure, "‘Peonies for Pleasure.” Sent on application.
