If your order entitles you to the free root of White

instead of White Beauty either El Capitan, red double, or 
Pathfinder, pink double. But unless you specify otherwise 
we will send White Beauty.

peonies, our selection, all named varieties and labelled. 
This offer is good until October 10 only. 
EARLY ORDERS 
We cannot fill all orders on September 1, but if we 
have your order early we ship just as soon as possible 
after that date, and your roots will do much better the 
first year to have all fall in which to start the new white 
rootlets and have the ground settled tight about them. 
We plant with success in November, but we much prefer 
September and early October planting. 
DWARF PEONIES 
We are proud of our line of dwarf Peonies. They are 
especially suited to small gardens, and for foreground 
planting with taller kinds. They include Rosalie, Flower 
Girl and the irresistible Peggy, and in the Hybrids, Red 
Ensign, Rosedale, No. 2237 and our new China Boy.
