• THE COURT OF HONOR IN THE PEONY REALM • 
to offer the most beautiful and expensive varieties of 
peonies in small size division's at prices much less than 
3’to 5 eye division prices. So I immediately issued a 
price list on one eye divisions and I am glad to tell you 
that my sales during the months of October and Novem¬ 
ber (usually the smallest of the four peony selling 
months) nearly doubled the amount sold in August and 
September and I was so very busy shipping peonies that 
I did not get time to plant my own divisions for the 
coming season. These I kept over winter in a basement 
and planted them early this spring. 
One Eye Divisions 
With the enthusiasm given to ms by the experience 
of October and November last year, I will this year and 
probably for the rest of my business life specialize 
upon the sale of small divisions of the newest and best 
peonies at lower prices and this leaflet is being sent to 
many persons who are not now upon my mailing list. 
If you would like to begin a collection of some of the 
highest quality peonies in small divisions at very mod¬ 
erate prices, I will be glad indeed to place your name 
upon my mailing list. 
To be happy in your peony experience, I suggest that 
you interest a friend living at some distance from your 
home. Then with that friend agree upon the purchase 
of ten or twenty or even fifty new varieties, and only 
one root of each kind. You should divide these new 
divisions betwen you so that neither of you have a 
variety which is in the other’s garden. This will give 
each of you an incentive to visit the other’s garden 
in the blooming season and these visits are events to be 
remembered and discussed during the other eleven 
months of the year. 
I know of no greater joy than the time I spend visit¬ 
ing my friends in their gardens and in entertaining them 
in my own. For over thirty years I have been visiting 
peony gardens here in the United States and in France 
and England and I hope that in the last years of my 
life I may be permitted to make my annual garden visits 
in the peony blooming season.
