Last year our Peony sales increased very noticeably. This proves that good quality young roots always find a 
ready demand. Our sales have continued on a lively scale, both in the spring and fall. We have prepared for 
this fall nice quantities of Peonies, all good strong healthy material. We are not in the cut flower business. 
Therefore, our roots contain the full amount of vitality. This is very important. When you purchase and trans¬ 
plant our roots, you have every right to expect maximum results. Please note our prices are very reasonable 
for young plants.

It is true Peony flowers in season are plentiful on practically all 
markets. However, none of them will equal the flowers which you are 
able to cut from plants well grown on your home grounds.
