PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 
This price list cancels all conflicting prices in previous lists. 
TERMS: Cash with order. Check or money order preferred. Make all re- 
mittances payable to George W. Peyton. 
WHOLESALE PRICES: As I do not attempt to grow large quantities, I can- 
not usually make wholesale prices. When it is possible to do so, I shall be glad 
to accommodate my grower friends. 
ROOTS: Standard three to five eye divisions will be sent when possible. 
Sometimes a division with two good eyes and an adequate root system will be the 
only one available. All roots are guaranteed true to name. Results cannot be ° 
guaranteed. None are guaranteed to bloom the first year, though they may do so. 
If you do not like the roots when received they should be returned at once. 
DELIVERY by insured parcel post only. Orders except for Mixed Peonies 
tor five dollars or more are delivered free. On orders for less than five dollars 
add twenty-five cents for the first root and five cents for each additional one. 
ORDERS are accepted subject to cancellation in whole or in part if suit- 
able roots are not available at time of shipment. All varieties priced at ten dol- 
lars each or more are very scarce. They should be ordered as soon as possible. 
VARIETIES: This list contains only the finest and best in the world, both 
old and new. I can supply almost any peony in commerce. Let me handle your 
entire peony order. I can usually save you money. I can certainly save you time 
and trouble. I shall be glad to quote on any variety not listed, if available. 
SMALL DIVISIONS: These can usually be supplied in varieties priced at 
five dollars or more. If interested, ask for quotations. 
ABBREVIATIONS: E—early; M—midseason; L—late; B—blush; LP— 
light pink; DP—dark pink; P—pink; R—red; W—white; Y—yellow; C—cut 
flower; F—fragrant; G—good garden subject; U—unreliable bloomer. 
COLOR GROUPS: Each variety is listed in the color group to which it is 
usually assigned. It must be remembered that color varies a great deal some- 
times. White peonies often show a decided tint of pink. The dividing line be- 
tween blush, light pink, dark pink, red is often hotly disputed. So take these 
color classifications with a grain of salt.
