WE SEND QUALITY ROOTS 
Standard 3 to 5 eye divisions, which is the best size to 
plant; fresh dug to order, grown in rich corn belt soil. 
Every precaution is taken to grow healthy, vigorous stock. 
This means that our minimum price cannot be as low as 
some growers make, but our roots are worth the prices 
asked, and our average price for all varieties is much lower 
than many dealers ask. 
NOTE. We grow more than 250 other kinds not listed 
in this catalogue. If you have any special wants, please 
write us, we may be able to supply you. 
OUR PRICE POLICY 
We have always reduced our prices as fast as we could 
and still avoid depleting our stocks. Growing Peonies for 
sale is a many times slower process than growing roses, 
dahlias or gladiolus. In fact, by comparison with prices 
for new kinds of these other flowers, our prices are very 
low. Consider also that a healthy Peony planted in good 
soil is almost a permanent fixture, giving dividends long 
after stocks of the other plants have disappeared and had 
to be replaced. 
Despite current inflation and increased costs, FOR 1951 
WE HAVE NOT ADVANCED PRICES, but have re- 
duced prices of many of the rarer kinds. Also, many of 
our finest kinds are now in sufficient supply to be priced 
at $1.00 to $2.50. Please therefore depend on our descrip- 
tions, In making out your order. 
MINIMUM ORDER, $2.00 plus 35c postage and 
packing. No C.O.D. shipments. 
TERMS—Cash with order. Prices include delivery in 
the U. S. east of the Rockies on orders of $3.00 or more. 
Under $3.00 add 35c for postage and packing. Pacific Coast 
orders under $10.00 sent express collect, or add 6% extra 
for prepaid postage. 
Canadian orders, add 25c for first root, 7e for each addi- 
tional root. Parcels post shipment simpler than express. 
Send import permit and remit in U. S. exchange. 
Any complaint as to condition of roots must be made 
immediately upon receipt of package. We make no war- 
ranty as to growth as we do not control conditions nor care 
in our customers’ gardens. 
This price list cancels all previous quotations, and is
