TIME TO PLANT 
The best time to plant both Tree and Herbaceous Peonies 
is in the autumn, beginning about September 1, although the 
early May-flowering section can be planted as early as 
August 15, and the plan:ing of the roots can be continued 
until the ground freezes. To prevent heaving of ihe roots by 
frost, they should be covered with a mulch of leaves or straw 
manure the first season. Peonies can also be planted success- 
fully in spring if this is done early, as soon as the frost is out 
and the soil is dry enough. If planted in ihe spring, water f:e- 
quently during the summer. 
OUR ROOTS 
Our roots have been tested on our grounds, and every 
one is true to name. If you wish to adorn your lawn or garden 
with true stock, correctly labeled, do not overlook this list. 
As to size, quality, and streng h of our roots, they rank with 
the best on the market, and will usually bloom the first year. 
However we do not guarantee results, as we have no conirol 
over stock after leaving our hands. Do not be too hasty in 
judging the plants ‘he first season, as all planis receive a 
shock when transplanted and should have a season's growth 
io become established. 
We guaraniee all our Peonies to be true to name and 
in healthy condition. We will replace any that are not true 
to name but in no case will we be responsible for more 
than the purchase price. 
Our plants will be standard size, 3 to 5 eye divisions with 
a balanced root system. We do not guarantee them to grow 
as we have no control over the conditions under which they 
are planted in your garden. However if there is evidence of 
negligence on our part in getting the plants to you we will 
be glad to make satisfactory adjustment. 
Orders are accepted on ithe basis of ability to supply. 
All orders cash, postage paid. Shipping begins Sept. 1 
and continues until freezing weather. We will be able to 
supply some orders in the spring. We have found that 
spring planting is very safe where plants can be regularly 
cultivated during the summer and it is better than waiting 
for an entire season to get a planting started.
