PEONIES 
Single, Double and Japanese 
The most important factor in success with Peonies is the quality of 
the stock that is planted. Much disappointment results from planting 
and trying to nurse along Peonies taken from roots too old to stand 
dividing. 
The plants I send out are strong, three to five eye divisions, cut from 
vigorous, young stock. If planted and cared for according to the direc- 
tions sent with the roots, they should give some bloom the following 
season. 
The shipping season begins September 10th and continues until freez- 
ing weather. Early planting is advised. I will attend to planting any 
order of ten dollars or more within twenty-five miles of Putney. 
There are no poor varieties in my list and the average of the ratings 
is very high. Many of the world’s finest are included. 
Prices are as low as is consistent with vigorous, young, well-grown 
stock. .
