Live and Bloom a Lifetime 
It is not unusual for you to get large flowers 8 to 9 inches 
across in these newer and better varieties.^ These good peonies 
cost you no more than common ordinary sorts. My reputation 
for good peonies is nation-wide. 
HIGHEST RATING IN ALL AMERICA 
Among these splendid peonies you will find some of the highest 
rating peonies in the country. When these bloom for you they will 
be the sensation of your neighborhood. In the official rating sys¬ 
tem 9.5 and up is practically perfect, 9.0 to 9.5 is extra fine, 8.5 to 9.0 
is extra good, 8.0 to 8.5 is good. We put the rating on each peony 
so you can see what the National Peony Society thinks of these 
varieties I offer you.
