44 CHERRY HILL NURSERIES 
SNe 
Peonies may be successfully planted at almost any time 
of the year, but are most easily handled in the fall from 
September to November, and early in the spring before the 
buds have pushed through the ground. The first season 
will not produce large and often not typical blooms. They 
should be treated as permanent plants and will grow and 
thrive from ten to twenty years in one location. 
SHIPPING CHARGES 
When shipping Peonies, we cut off the tops leaving com- 
pact plants. Except in large quantities these may usually 
be sent by parcel post more cheaply than by express. If 
you wish your order shipped in this way, please include 
20 cents for the first root and 5 cents for each additional 
root. We will pack the plants securely with moist material 
so that they will arrive in a fresh condition ready to be put 
in your garden. Larger shipments may be sent by express 
collect. 
NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
For many years we have been growing new peonies from 
seed pollenized by the best known varieties. We have ob- 
served these carefully for blooming qualities and have dis- 
carded those which did not measure up to our highest 
standard. The ones listed below are, we believe, of merit 
and will hold their place in any garden. 
Arthur H. Fewkes — A variety originated by the late 
Arthur H. Fewkes and named by his family. Strong 
stems of medium height. Wide petals of fine form and 
texture, ivory white with salmon shadings at base of 
petals which give a buff or salmon light throughout the 
flower. Late. $20.00. 
Amberglow — Strong upright stems of medium height 
bearing dark green leaves which have a peculiar fluted 
effect. The bud is delicate pink and the flower globular, 
flesh pink with salmon lights. Late but opens well and 
is noticeable for its delicate‘coloring and crisp freshness. 
$4.00. 
Annisquam — Large globular blooms of tender pink which 
retain their coloring until the petals fall. The petals are 
broad and rounded forming a cupped-shaped flower of 
smooth attractive appearance. Good both as a cut 
flower and for garden use. Pleasant fragrance. Mid- 
Aa We consider this one of our finest introductions. 
Magnolia (Japanese type) — Bright rose-pink with over- 
lapping petals. Center of enlarged stamens of chrome- 
yellow which are crusted with golden yellow. Strong 
vigorous growth. Extra good for garden effects. $2.50. 
Rapture — Very large, the outer petals broad and rounded, 
center petals shorter giving the blooms a cupped effect. 
Pure white suffused with a soft creamy light. Pleasant 
fragrance. Midseason. $15.00. 
Summer Cloud — Faint pink buds open into well-formed 
flowers with wide outer petals of white and center of 
narrower petals having a creamy light. Long, strong 
stems. Midseason. $4.00.
