Size of Divisions 
I am very proud of my five-eye divisions, and 
I would of course rather sell large roots than 
smaller ones. Larger roots carry more moisture 
and they should, and they do make better plants 
the first and second years. For all peony lovers 
who do not need to economize, I unhesitatingly 
recommend the Bonnewitz five-eye divisions. 
However, I get a thrill in selling small divisions 
of the best peonies to persons who are willing 
to give them the extra attention they require. 

Fifty New Varieties 
I am sure that my customers will be glad to 
find over fifty new peonies in this catalog. By 
new peonies, I mean varieties I have never be- 
fore offered. These new varieties come from the 
best growers in the United States and Europe. 
I believe that my customers will be happy in 
having the opportunity to buy small divisions 
of these new varieties as well as the large ones. 
I hope my customers will notice that I have 
listed everyone of the new varieties introduced 
by Harry F. Little and also many of the varieties 
introduced by Colonel Nicholls. I believe I am 
the only grower who offers these celebrated 
varieties in one-eye, two-eye and three-eye di- 
visions. Some of the finest varieties grown by 
Lyman D. Glasscock are included in this offer- 
ing and some of the newer ones from Mr. Brand, 
Mr. Franklin and Mr. Auten. 

Single Varieties 
ARCTURUS (Auten) 
This is a brand new peony and I am glad to list it. 
It is a medium tall, large, very dark cardinal, single 
peony and it impressed me as infinitely better than 
ue other dark red one in my garden. Very few for 
sale.
