PEONIEs 
PEONIES ARE FOR FALL 1949 DELIVERY ONLY 
This year we are again offering our list of choice Peonies, Va- 
rieties that we have selected as being outstanding in their various 
color classes. We do not try to grow every variety in existence 
but we do try to have the best ones. We want to say just a word 
about the quality. We send out, as always, nice clean three to five 
eye divisions, all from two and three year plants. You will find no 
clubby stock in our peonies.
