SatisFied Customers 
Each year our business continues to show a substan¬ 
tial increase over the preceding year, which leads us to 
believe that our customers fully appreciate the fact that 
we have consistently maintained a high standard in prop¬ 
erly caring for our Peonies, and in keeping them true to 
name—and in filling orders with only the best quality 
roots, cut from thrifty young plants, liberally graded— 
just such roots as we, ourselves, would be proud to receive 
and plant. For the continued confidence of our customers, 
we are truly grateful. 
From our list of varieties, we have discarded the un¬ 
desirable kinds, and those offered in this Catalog, are only 
the most useful and lovely—each one tried and tested by 
us and found to be worthy. It would seem a needless 
waste of time and money for our customers to individually 
buy all the new varieties as introduced, many of which 
prove to be inferior to existing kinds. We will acquaint 
ourselves with the merits of the new kinds, and eliminate 
the undesirables. Then, as stocks become available at 
reasonable prices, only the cream of the new introductions 
will be offered to our customers. 
Assuring both old and new customers that we will 
endeavor to merit their confidence by filling all orders 
with quality roots which should give complete satisfaction, 
we are 
Very sincerely, 
HARMEL PEONY COMPANY 
“WE SELL LARGE ORDERS EACH YEAR TO MANY 
OF THE HEAVIEST BUYERS OF PEONIES AND WE 
FEEL THAT OUR PEONIES WILL ALSO PLEASE 
YOU.”
