— OUR PRICE POLICY — 
We feel that our prices for new things are most 
reasonable, and we do not hesitate to lower these prices 
when a sufficient stock has been developed. The slow 
rate of propogation of the Peony is a factor which must 
always be taken into consideration when comparing prices 
of Peonies with those of other flowers like Irises, Dahlias, 
Roses and Gladiolus. 
Some of our finest kinds are now in fair supply, and 
we therefore urge you to judge quality by the descriptions 
and not by comparative prices. In other words, some of our 
$1.50 and $2.00 kinds are among the very finest, and a 
$20.00 variety is priced there both because it is fine and 
also because my stocks are still small. 
SIZE OF PEONY BLOOMS 
One of the several reasons for the great popularity of 
the Peony is the great size of the blooms. One has a right 
to be thrilled at the sight of a rose fragrant peony bloom 
just as refined as any rose and from six to twelve times 
larger. But there are kinds with small blooms which are 
just as beautiful and which are useful for table decora- 
tions and in arrangements with other small flowers, where 
a very large bloom would be out of proportion. Both 
the singles and Japs, having less petalage than the full 
doubles are especially useful this way. Patty, Rosalie, 
Creve Coeur, Nippon Gold, Lucky Star are valuable kinds.

FrRoM BRITISH COLUMBIA—The peonies I have got from you in the 
past have nearly all given a good account of themselves. Some are 
wonderful. Most of them are wonderfully sweet scented. As usual your 
Radiant Red was wonderful last spring. 
FROM WASHINGTON—Peonies from your gardens some years ago have 
proven their worth. 
FROM MICHIGAN—I have fallen for Rosalie’s charm. She gets better 
each year. Good sturdy grower. All Autens good tho. 
From ILLINOIS—I visit your garden almost each year and f think they 
are beautiful. I like the very double big peonies the best and my favor- 
ites are the June Brilliant, Rose Marie, Philippe Rivoire and Rosalie. 
FromM NEw YorK—Last year you sent Nippon Gold as the free peony. 
Admired by many. 
FRoM ALABAMA—TIn red Japs a new variety takes its place at the head 
of the parade. It is Mount Palomar. It is prolific, early and has a 
wonderful shining color. If any grower is limited to one red Jap select 
this one and forget the rest. Big Ben was my best red (double). It 
has great size, long strong stems and is a prolific bloomer. I am delighted 
with it.
