HARDY 
PEONIES 
The peony is as hardy as a burr oak and absolutely free 
from insect enemies and disease. This is saying a good deal. 
In addition to this, the flowers are of immense proportions, 
sometimes reaching nine inches in diameter, perfectly 
double and have a great range of color, from the purest 
white to the deepest crimson. Our peonies are strong 3 to 5 
eye divisions taken from Three Year Clumps. This age and 
size have proven most satisfactory for the general trade.
