PEONIES 
The Peony is a long time favorite and a very dependable perennial. With average 
care it will produce blossoms over a long period of years. We strongly recommend the 
purchase of first class varieties only, since the first cost for even the best is low when 
the large return of satisfaction is considered. We have compiled our list to protect you 
from inferior varieties. 
For best results, plant the crown 2 inches below the surface in deep, rich garden loam, 
well drained and full sun. Fertilizer should not be added to newly planted peonies. They 
should be planted during October, November or in spring before April 1st. Peonies are 
sent prepaid, except we reserve the right to ship collect to our distant customers if plants 
are priced at less than $1.00. 
Rockmont introductions are outstanding. Our Nimbus was a prize winner at the 
National Peony Show, Lincoln, Nebraska, 1937. 
If you wish to plant Peonies this spring, please order from our Fall Catalogue, 1937.

PHLOX—GARDEN VARIETIES 
(Decussata) 
Phlox Silverton, a Rockmont Introduction, has been given such enthusiastic recep¬ 
tion that we wish to call it to your snecial attention. Nationally known horticultural 
writers have praised it and our customers are unanimous in approval. We wish also 
to call your attention to Snowcap, Colorado, Robin Hood, Osceola and Tanager. Plan a 
visit to Rockmont Nursery during early August when Phlox may be seen at its best. 
Well-drained, rich garden loam is recommended in full sun. Phlox requires consid¬ 
erable water during the blooming period, and light shade may be preferable in ex¬ 
tremely hot climates.
