Inter-State Peonies are guaranteed to please you when you get 
them and also when they bloom. Last fall, one customer 
bought a solid carload of our Peonies. This man is unques- 
tionably one of the best judges of Peonies in America and he 
told us that never in all his experience had he seen such fine 




Peony roots as we produce here. Hamburg is near the center © 
of the United States and we have a rare Loess soil which pro- 
duces very fine nursery stock and our Peonies are exception- 
ally vigorous. We send you Number One roots with 3 to 6 
eyes. Plant them in well-drained soil in full sunlight if possi- 
ble, 3 to 4 feet apart and cover the eyes with just 2 inches of 
soil. Peonies are the easiest of all ficwers to grow. They come 
up year after year with no care or bother. They never winter- 
kill even in the most severe climate and produce an abundance 
of exquisite flowers, dozens and dozens of them, for a lifetime.
