P€ONIES 
Peonies have been a specialty with us for many years and we are offering a 
very extensive list of varieties that has been very carefully culled of undesirable 
types, so that all of the varieties offered have some especial merit. The list in¬ 
cludes many of the newer and better varieties as well as a comprehensive list of 
varieties of medium price, in a full range of color, form, and blooming season. 
Descriptions in a list of this type are necessarily limited and where fuller de¬ 
scriptions are required they will be sent on request. All varieties are understood to 
be what is technically known as "double type" unless otherwise specified. 
Figures following the name of the variety show ratings according to the latest 
classification of the American Peony Society. 
GRADE:—All of the plants offered are strong divisions of two and three year old 
plants carrying from 3 to 5 eyes; well rooted, well balanced, and well devel¬ 
oped plants. 
Heavy selected 5 to 8 eye divisions will be furnished at 50% over list prices. 
SPECIAL APPLICATION OF PRICES:—5 plants of a variety will be furnished 
at the rate per 10, 30 or more at the rate per 100. The rate per 100 will also 
apply on orders for named varieties totaling 100 plants or more when such 
orders call for not less than ten plants of a variety. Less than five plants of a 
variety will be furnished at 5c per plant over the rate per 10, except for 
varieties listing at $10.00 or more per 10, where the rate per 10 will apply on 
all quantities. 
Write for special prices on large quantities. 
CUT-FLOWER VARIETIES:—Many varieties of Peonies, even some of those carry¬ 
ing the highest ratings, have certain peculiarities of growth and flower which 
make them entirely unsuited for growing for commercial cut flowers. 
The best varieties for cut flowers must be reliable and prolific bloomers with 
long strong upright stems, good foliage, and firm petals of good substance. 
They must open well when cut in bud and must handle well in shipment and 
in storage. We are listing below a number of varieties that have proven their 
value as commercial producers of cut flowers, the varieties in black face type 
being those that we particularly recommend.
