Plent PEONIES 
This Spring 
Enjoy Flowers Six Weeks Later 
Our Peony roots are large and it will do no harm to allow each plant to pro- 
duce one flower this season. 
For a number of seasons we have offered what we call a “Surprise Box.”” We 
this offer again this spring and we are also going to give our 
customers a chance to make up a box of their choice. At the close of the fall 
shipping season we always have a surplus of many excellent varieties. We cannot 
use valuable catalog space to list and describe each variety. We are placing these 
varieties in groups according to color. Make up your own collection from any 
one of the three groups. In making a collection from the varieties listed according 
to color, it is well to name a second choice as we are sure to run out of some 
season is Over. 
SURPRISE BOXES 
An Offer You Cannot Afford to Pass 
For three seasons we have disposed of our surplus by making up 
Surprise Boxes and we believe that every box that we have sent out 
has been,a really pleasant surprise to our customer. 
You may wish to know something about what we will place in 
each box. Each box will have a total value of $19:00 and will contain 
up to six roots. If you wish a smaller number, we select roots 
of greater value. 
Tell us what colors you prefer and leave the selection to us. All 
the roots will be correctly labeled and will be regular Brand Di- 
visions. 
Take advantage of our offer and get a fine box of Peonies, a 
regular $10.00 value, for $7.50, postpaid. 
COMPLIMENTS ON OUR SURPRISE BOXES 
Charlotte, N. C., May 27, 1941 
“I received the Surprise Package of Peony roots in fine shape and 
truly they are SURPRISE PACKAGES. I am just thrilled to have 
such a lovely collection and I never would have gotten it any other 
way. I’m sure you couldn’t have sent them to anyone that will enjoy 
them more or be more appreciative of their beauty. I feel very for- 
tunate to have sent my order just when I did. We have an ideal 
climate and soil for Peonies and I can hardly wait to see these bloom. 
I thank you very much.” 
MRS. D. J. C.
