OUR CATALOG 
Each vear we go over our mailing list and take out the 
names of those who have failed to order for several years. 
We do this to save expense. However, if you have pur- 
chased from us in the past and fail to receive our book and 
wish a copy, do not hesitate to write us for one 

Although we have conducted a general nursery business for years, we have specialized 
in Peonies and French Lilacs, and with these two items we intend at all times to keep our 
plantings up to date. 
We have spent nearly 50 years in originating and bringing out new varieties of Peonies 
and about 20 years in producing new varieties of Improved French Lilacs. 
In checking through a list of the 108 highest rated Peonies, we find that seventeen of 
these varieties were originated by this firm. This is the largest number produced by any 
originator. 
We still have some six or eight varieties that have not been rated. We know when they 
receive their vote that they will rank among the very best. 
Many people who are moving about send for our catalog 
and are not really interested in making a purchase. If we 
do not receive an order after sending out our catalog, we 
drop that name from our files and no further catalogs are 
sent. Our catalog is sent from season to season to all who 
purchase from us, without their asking for it 
We also have about 10 new Lilacs which we have not introduced. We feel sure when

be had. A fine help.”
