Our Spring List 
° Ow oniuing a4 
The demand for the Single and Japanese type of Peonies was greater last fall than 
ever before, and by the time our fall shipping season was over we were sold up on a 
number of kinds. On a number of others we had too few left to list them at this 
time. These will be used as extras on all orders for this type that amounts to $8.00 
or more. However, we have a few excellent kinds in sufficient quantity to offer but 
if we should run short of any kind, we will send it in September.

year, in every way, it has proven a splendid flower. A single of 
the most brilliant red. Two rows of petals surround a large, promi-
