Our nine acres of Peonies are growing in fertile “corn 
belt” soil. The fields are a blaze of glory at blooming time, 
and visitors are always welcome. We send liberal 8 to 5 
eye divisions, properly cut. This is the best size to plant, 
even better than a full sized clump. Roots are dug to order 
and shipped to you fresh and full of vigor. 
FREE PEONY 
If your order includes three Peonies listing at 
$1.25 or more each, or two at $1.50 or more each, 
we will include free of charge, one Peony of our 
own selection. 
YOUR EARLY ORDER will be appreciated. We 
can give service at less labor cost on early orders, 
and early planting, though not imperative, is 
nevertheless highly advantageous. 
MINIMUM ORDER, $2.00 plus 35c postage and 
packing. No C.O.D. shipments. 
TERMS—Cash with order. Prices include delivery in 
the U. S. east of the Rockies on orders of $3.00 or more. 
Under $3.00 add 35c for postage and packing. Pacific Coast

tional root. Parcels post shipment simpler than express.

Any complaint as to condition of roots must be made

ranty as to growth as we do not control conditions nor care
