NOVELTY COLORS 
These supply much needed variation in tone. They liven 
up the garden picture, and give surprisingly brilliant and 
different effects indoors. They naturally carry some purple 
and may fade some at the end, but are still very much 
worth-while. We have many other Novelty varieties 
under trial. Write us. 
Do not plant these novelty colors next to the regular 
clear reds, as they will clash. But away from them, the 
novelties are charming.

FROM MINNESOTA (a commercial grower)—“This year we happened to 
have a plant of Mary Auten and a plant of Plymouth that were old 
enough to give some good typical blooms and I wish to say that they 
were both very fine indeed.’’ 
FROM WISCONSIN—“Eventually, when all of your Peonies which you 
have offered for sale have been raised, the public will find that no 
exhibitor in the world up to the present time has ever put forward 
such uniform, high-rating group of Peonies as you have.”
