THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY WHOLESALE TRADE LIST 
Herbaceous Peonies very where 
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 in¬ 
crease 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 valu¬ 
able sorts as we. Our endeavor is always to lead 
and not to follow in any branch of the floral busi¬ 
ness 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. Wc guarantee our 
Peonies true to name. The plants we offer are divi¬ 
sions (from plants two to three years old) with two 
to five or more eyes. We always give value. Wo 
supply six at dozen, 25 at hundred, and 250 at 
thousand rates. For any varieties not listed, write 
us for prices. 
SPECIAL NOTICE: 
We issue a special Price list of many varieties of Peonies not listed in 
thi s book, both new android varieties. Write today for it. 
Peonies for Pleasure 
The little brochure, “Peonies for Pleasure," gives full infor¬ 
mation 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 succession of bloom 
It describes the old and new, the plebeian and the aristocrat* 
of tiie 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 plebeians 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 ap¬ 
plication.
