PEONY FAILURES 
Did you know that there are thousands of “BUNK” Peonies in circulation? 
Well Smith has grown them for years, cannot get them to bloom. They are 
passed on to Jones, who, after six or eight years of failure gives or sells them to 
Brown, cheap, with same result. If divided at all they are attacked with a 
spade instead of with a sharp knife, their bruised and mutilated remains are 
then buried deeply at the wrong season and then he wonders why his Peonies 
do not bloom. 
People, every year, in spite of FAIR WARNING, buy the cheapest roots they 
can find from any old “cheap John” or bargain sale, plant them any old way 
at any old season and spend their remaining days wondering why their Peonies 
do not bloom. 
Lower prices will be offered on larger lots. Please submit your list for 
special quotation.

JAPANESE IRISES 
The growing demand for these tall stately Irises will be met in my extensive 
collection, probably the finest in the West, most of them propagated from original 
Yokohama Nursery Company’s finest productions and carried under their 
original Japanese names. 
Color range from pure white, light and dark blues, rose lilac to dark purple. 
Some with six petals, others three. 
Owing to the difficulty in describing and naming I will not . list them 
here. Color plates of most of them may be seen at my office. 
NO LIME should be used where they grow, they prefer low, sour soil. 
Price 25c for liberal divisions. ^ 
Come and see them while blooming-.
