Our Prices and Our Peony List 
Available for Both Spring and Fall Planting 
N READING through our price list, it will be noticed that we list no Peony for less than $1.00. i are several 
ipl reasons why we cannot handle 50c and 75c roots and make a fair profit. In the first place it takes expert labor to 
divide Peonies and such labor deserves good wages, hence we divide with larger divisions, which encaaies the cost 
of labor and gives more satisfactory roots. Then we include in our list only really desirable varieties. It will be noticed 
that very few in the list are rated below 8 and we consider that these few deserve and will in the future receive a higher 
rating. If we wanted to work off undesirable stock we could sell it cheaper in order to get rid of it. But we want our cus- 
tomers to plant Peonies that will give them permanent pleasure and that they will not wish to discard when they come 
Il know Peonies better. We believe that our plan of giving good sized divisions of varieties selected for real merit means 
true economy to our customers. For this reason, we are designating the size of our root, A Brand Division.
