free from insect attacks. Early planting is to be recommended, as 
it gives the plant a chance to get established before the ground 
freezes. Orders may be booked at any time for fall delivery. As 
the stock of some of the new and rare varieties is limited, early 
orders ar eadvisable. 
So far as possible, we send strong one-year plants; when this 
is impossible, we send divisions with three to five strong eyes which 
generally bloom the first year. Peonies do not come to their best 
until the third or fourth year, and some varieties do not bloom until 
the second or third year after planting. We grow our own roots 
and guarantee them true to name.
