Cottage Gardens* Peony Originations 
You will enjoy a visit to our nurseries especially during Peony blooming time. From 
acres of seedlings we have selected well over 150 Peony Seedlings that we consider 
worthy of further observation. We are extremely critical of the qualities of our seedlings 
and none will be introduced unless it has proven to possess color, form and habit superior 
to existing varieties in same class. Those interested in progress in peonies will certainly 
find their visit to us at Peony Time well repaid. 
Peonies For Spring Planting 
For those who cannot do their planting of Peonies in the fall, we carry a good assortment 
of Peonies in our Peony Storage where the plants are kept perfectly dormant until way late 
in spring. It has been our experience that spring planting of Peonies is perfectly all right. 
It is advisable, however, to do your planting as early in spring as possible.
