We Have Done It Again! 
Last year, on this page of our Catalog, we stated— 
“We are both pleased and proud that our sales for the 
year 1938 broke our all time record for quantity.” Well, 
that record has been broken because our sales in 1939 show 
a substantial increase over sales of 1938. 
Letters from many states have been received by us, 
telling of the splendid satisfaction that our Peonies have 
given to our customers. These letters seem important to 
us because we know that when we please our customers 
our business should continue to prosper. 
We assure you that it will always be our sincere de¬ 
sire and purpose to please each customer by filling orders 
with best quality, true-to-name, liberally graded roots, cut 
from thrifty young plants—just such roots as we, our¬ 
selves, would be proud to receive and plant. 
Along with the best of the old varieties, we are offer¬ 
ing in this catalog some of the very best of the newer 
varieties. May we suggest that you try at least some of 
the newest varieties. 
Very sincerely, 
HARMEL PEONY COMPANY
