JUDGE VQRIES PEONY FARM 
2225 DUNCAN STREET 
Back in 1909 ray uncle, the late Judge L. A. Vories, feeling the need of 
outdoor recreation became a devotee of Mother Netu^'e, The Peony at¬ 
tracted him very greatly, so he became interestea and soon had a Peony 
Garden* 
Being one who believed in having the best money could buy, the Judge 
soon had many of the finest varieties obtainable* Peonies almost be¬ 
came an obsession with him - the plants grew - the flowers bloomed - 
each year they became more beautiful. With no thought of making money 
from his hobby, but upon the insistence of his friends, he consented to 
sell some of his plants and seedlings, so they, too, might enjoy them 
in their gardens. 
Being a man of high ideals, the judge did not sell a single plant until 
he had obtained the opinions of competant authorities. Soon this hobby 
became a business too large for the Judge to handle alone - he had to 
have help. It was then that I came into the picture - 1914 to be exact. 
For the past 25 years I have worked with Peonies -I’ve learned just 
about everything to be learned about them, that is up to the present 
time. Since 1929 I have managed the Judge Vories Peony Farm almost en¬ 
tirely. Many of our plants have won prizes at the various shows thru- 
out the country. Vie have developed quite a number of our own plants 
which have won outstanding places, 
it is my intention to continue this Peony Farm along the very same 
lines as my uncle. I am firmly convinced that nowhere can you obtain 
any finer, more beautiful, or more hardy plants than from ray farm. 
Due to my late start this year on peonies and the large stocks of many 
varieties, I am quoting some very low prices - LOOK THEI\.l OVER CAREFULLY 
- if you are interested in buying some new plants this season, I am 
sure you will find just the ones you have been wanting. 
You may be assured that all peonies purchased of me will be of the 
VORIES STANDARD OF QUALITY and roots of three to five eye divisions. 
You V7ill not be disappointed with a single one.
