Herbaceous Peonies Hardy Everywhere 
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 nurserymen 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.

Tree Peonies 
This Is a remarkable species developed from Peony 
Mouton, a native of China and Japan. In habit of 
growth it is not unlike a deciduous shrub—the growths 
are short and stocky, the plant eventually attaining a 
height of four or more feet and of large circumference; 
the foliage Is quite handsome, and the immense flowers 
which usually appear some two weeks ahead of the herb¬ 
aceous class, are most remarkable for their immense size 
and gorgeous colorings. Splendid for grouping or for 
specimen plants on the lawn. While a hardy plant, It 
will be found desirable to give it some protection In very 
cold latitudes. All shoots springing from the base should 
be rubbed off. We offer any color desired, our choice of 
varieties only, at 85 cents each; $9.00 per dozen. 
Size of Roots 
At the prices quoted in this list we send divisions with

give value.
