Whether your space is limited or your garden embraces acres; whether your soil is rich or poor; whether you 
have experience or not— the hardy plant that will unfailingly reward you with glorious flowers carried on wonder¬ 
ful stems is the PEONY. Over a quarter century ago, the founder of this business became one of the pioneer 
boosters of this superb flower. With unfailing energy and steadily growing enthusiasm, he worked up one of the 
finest Peony collections in this country. The joy he derived in doing this partly expressed in a unique work en¬ 
titled “Peonies for Pleasure,” pronounced one of the most inspirational pieces of business literature published. 
YOU, TOO, WILL PRIZE “PEONIES FOR PLEASURE” | 
It will help you to a better understanding and deeper appreciation of the loveliness of Peonies either as a cut 
flower or a decorative feature of the garden. Not a catalog, this unique volume serves rather as an intimate guide i 
to all that’s worth-while in Peonies. A copy of “Peonies for Pleasure” will gladly be mailed free of charge. Just = 
ask for it on a postcard. |
