PEONIES 
Jewels of the June Garden 
For hardiness, durability, beauty and general use, there is nothing to excel the 
peony as a perennial to grace the garden or enhance our garden effects. It can 
rightfully be called the “King of Perennials.” 
Many notable hybridizers have enjoyed marked success in their endeavor to 
improve most of the present-day perennials. The peony is one of these perennials 
that has been favorably considered, for there is room for new colors and combina- 
tions of color; longer season of bloom, form, texture and a number of other features. 
Our experience with peonies, covering a period of many years, has thoroughly 
convinced us that the peony is one of the most satisfactory ‘perennials for the 
amateur gardener. With a minimum of care, attention, and cultivation, wonderful 
results may be achieved and efforts richly rewarded during the month of June. 
Our collection of peonies comprises the very best to be obtained in this or any 
other country. Only the finest varieties from each originator are propagated by us. 
You will find many notable and worth-while varieties in this brochure to improve 
and add beauty to your planting. 
If you are not fortunate as yet in having peonies in your garden, here will be 
a fine opportunity to get started right with the best obtainable. They all have their 
place in garden plantings, and a number of unheralded ones will later attain the 
position they are entitled to and will be found with the elite of peonydom. 
Our garden is open for inspection at any time and you are most welcome to 
visit us. We would like to meet and greet you personally and to serve you in any 
way. We are truly grateful for all patronage received in the past. Your orders 
will have our careful and personal attention. 
We want to call your special attention to our offering of Hybrid 
Peonies on pages 22 and 23. This is a most desirable contribution to 
our fine peony list, extending the blooming season a considerable time.
