Choice PEONIES — 4 Rosedale Specialty 
The Peonies listed have been selected because of their superiority in growing habits, sturdiness, fragrance, form and 
foliage—all entirely dependable stock, the new as well as the established varieties. 
The propagation and growing of Peonies at Rosedale has had such special attention and care for so many years that 
we feel we can rightfully determine which of the many varieties are best for growing in this area. 
Size of Peony Root: Rosedale Peonies are offered in a size one vear older than is usual. A “division” (the size of root 
stock usually sold) at Rosedale has at least three to five eyes, and has been planted and grown under ideal conditions for 
one year before being offered for sale. These plants develop new roots and large, husky eyes which generally bloom the 
following June when planted in the Fall. 
Culture: September and October are the months to plant Peonies for blooms in June. Prepare the soil to a depth of 18 
inches, mixing in liberally bonemeal and pulverized sheep manure. Do NOT use fresh manure near the roots. Plant the root 
division so that the prominent “‘eyes’’ are 2 inches below the surface of the ground. Firm soil well around the roots.

THE VERY FINEST, 
DEEP RED PEONY 
EVER INTRODUCED 
It is difficult to capture 
in a photograph the deep, 
rich red coloring and cap- 
tivating form of this excel- 
lent new Peony. To assure 
ourselves, and in turn you, 
of the exceptional quality 
of this variety, we grew 
this in our nurseries for 
three years before offering 
it for sale for the first 
time three years ago. 
(Perhaps some of you saw 
it growing just inside the 
picket fence around the 
office.) It justified every- 
thing the originator 
claimed for it—‘‘pure red, 
heavy foliaged and vigor- 
ous growing midseason 
variety.” This was sub- 
stantiated by his propa- 
gator: ““The bloom is the 
largest, the foliage the 
greenest and most beauti- 
ful, the plant habits per- 
fect, the stems strong, col- 
or and fragrance excel- 
lent.’’ Nothing more need 
be said. We recommend 
this Peony unqualifiedly.
