IMPERIAL DOZEN 
The varieties of Peonies run into possible a thousand or more. We 
attempt to list eighteen of the better, most practical ones, including the 
Imperial Dozen, made up of twelve of the highest scoring Peonies 
known. These are still considered new, but each has been 
thoroughly tested and on the market long enough for the 
price to be reasonable and within the reach of anyone 
interested in good Peonies. 
Culture—Plant in deep, fertile soil, covering the top 
bud not more than 2 inches. 
$1.50 each, $16.50 per dozen

GOLD MEDAL PEONIES Popular garden Varieties: 85c. each, $8.50 per dozen. 
It is not possible to include in one dozen or even two dozen all the good varieties. So we have selected another group, each Peony for some special 
feature and merit. While these varieties do not rate as high as the Imperial Dozen the selection is good and will afford you much joy and satisfaction.
