PEONIES 
The Peonies offered in this list are in storage and can be held in good dormant 
condition until the season is well advanced. 
For a complete list of the varieties of Peonies that we have to offer, please 
refer to our special Peony list for the Fall of 1940, a copy of which will be sent 
on request. Peonies have been a specialty with us for many years and we are growing 
a very comprehensive list of varieties. 
Figures following the name of the variety show ratings according to the classi¬ 
fication of the American Peony Society. 
GRADE:—All of the plants offered are strong divisions of two and three year old 
clumps carrying from 3 to 5 eyes; well rooted, well balanced, and well devel¬ 
oped plants. All have been grown for plants only—we do not offer divisions 
of old cut-flower plants.
