THE BOnnEUIITZ CARDERS 
TERMS OF SALE-REMITTANCES: 
Remittances should accompany all orders and may 
be made by Post Office Money Order, Bank Draft or by 
check. Do not send stamps. 
SIZE OF ROOTS: 
All peony roots will be three to five eye divisions 
of standard size and of BONNEW^ITZ QUALITY which 1 
am sure ranks with the best in all the world. 
A large root is more valuable than a small one. First, 
because the usefulness of the root aside from the eye or 
sprout consists in its ability to furnish moisture to the 
growing plant. A root weighing four ounces could un¬ 
doubtedly withstand a drouth much better than a root 
weighing only half as much. In many seasons in Ohio 
and neighboring states the rainfall is sufficient even for 
very small plants, but not always. 
All small divisions and very small plants should be 
planted where, if necessary, they can be given water in 
September and October and again in April, May, and 
June. 
GUARANTEE: 
All varieties are guaranteed true to name. Should 
any varieties prove untrue to name, we will replace them 
with true stock. 
BANK REFERENCES: 
Peoples Savings Bank, Van Wert, Ohio. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS: 
Cultural directions will be mailed with the acknowl¬ 
edgment of the order. Another copy will be included in 
the package with the roots. 
TIME OF SHIPMENTS: 
We begin shipping our peony orders the first week 
in September. Customers may ask for shipment any date 
before November 15th. 
TRANSPORTATION: 
We accept all orders for peonies even if the cus¬ 
tomer wishes only a single root. We ask, however, that 
on small orders the customers send us 20 cents for the 
postage and extra cost of packing on the first root and 
1 0 cents for each additional root until the order amounts 
to $2.00. We pay parcel post or express charges on 
orders above this amount. 
NO SUBSTITUTIONS: 
Of some varieties, we have a limited number of roots. 
If we cannot supply any variety you order, we will return 
your money for that variety. We never make substitu¬ 
tions on any customer’s order unless the customer asks 
that this be done.
