At the National Peony Show held in Lincoln, Nebraska in 
1937, we won 2 cups and 29 ribbons, including 2 svveep- 
stakes, 7 firsts and 14 special awards. At the 1938 Regional 
Peony Show, under the auspices of the American Peony 
Society, held at Shenandoah, Iowa, we won 1 Silver Cup, 
1 Silver Medal, 3 Sweepstakes and 13 Firsts. In the double 
division, which is by far the most important and largest, 
there were 12 classes and we won First in every one. 
The winning of these awards shows that Inter-State Peo¬ 
nies do produce finer flowers. They have exceptional vigor 
and quality because they are grown right here in this 
fertile Iowa Loess-soil (none better in all the world, and

remains with the plants. We send only strong 3 to 5 eye

Peonies Can Be Planted in the Spring as 
Successfully as in the Fall.
