PEONIES . . . 
Orders totaling $2.50 PREPAID. For less always include 
15c for first root and 5c for each additional root up to

ber 15th until November 15th. Our own plantings are 
made then until the ground freezes. Orders filled as 
received here. Only vigorous, trimmed-back, 3 to 5 eye 
divisions supplied, and with cultural directions. 
Peony Collections ... 
Complying with somewhat general request we are again 
listing Peonies in COLLECTION. Pretty hard to arrange 
them to meet every situation, so if any of the varieties 
named do not suit, you may substitute your OWN choice 
providing the catalog price is the same as the varieties 
displaced. We limit this substitution to TWO varieties 
in a COLLECTION. 
NO PEONY ROOTS SHIPPED IN SPRING.
