JAP TYPES FINE FOR CUTTING 
There is a common belief among many uninformed people 
that the Japanese type blooms, because they are not so 
large nor so full as the doubles, do not last as well when 
cut. This is incorrect, many of the Japs having exceptional 
keeping qualities. They give somewhat the same effect 
of the singles, and they give color contrasts obtainable in 
no other way with the Peony. 
They are much more graceful in arrangements and bas- 
kets than many of the massive doubles.

FROM KENTUCKY—Every year some of my customers see Gay Paree and 
want it. 
FROM ILLINOIS—This year I enjoyed Rosalie about as much as anything 
in the patch. 
FROM WASHINGTON—Your Officinalis Hybrids are wonderful. You are 
to be congratulated. 
FROM ILLINOIS—We saw your flowers. They are beautiful beyond words. 
FROM WISCONSIN—A neighbor saw Rosalie this spring and with her it 
is a must have. 
FROM WASHINGTON—Of the small ones, I had Lucky Star last June, and 
I liked it aside from its novel form, and it caught as much attention as 
any in the collection of near 100. 
FROM NEW JERSEY—Roberta was particularly fine. 
FRoM KAnsAs—Glad to hear you can furnish 10 Tempest as we consider 
this one of the finest in our collection. 
FROM MAINE—Louis Joliet’s first blooms (4) were as breath taking as 
any peony I have ever seen. Sword Dance with 80 odd flowers—well, you 
know how beautiful this Peony can be. 
FROM NEBRASKA—Your Hybrid Peonies bloomed beautifully this spring 
and I want more. 
FROM MARYLAND—I am merely an amateur Peony lover, but do have 
quite a number of varieties, bought here and there, and I can honestly 
say that none excell my small sample of your originations.
