DEAR FRIEND: 
The .prices on the back side are for peony roots 
for fall planting; shipping will start about September 10th and 
thru October. Stocks of some varieties are limited, therefore 
would appreciate orders to be placed as early as possible as 
some varieties will sell out early. 
Most of my mail order customers are readers of 
farm papers or members of the American Peony Society, so am not 
afraid to book your order without any deposit or remittance nor 
C OD. Just place your order and you will be billed for them 
after they are shipped for your approval. Then if you are satis- 
fied, you remit the amount due and if not satisfied, then return 
roots and your postage will be refunded. Can not guarantee the 
growing results but do guarantee them to be true to variety. 
Grow nearly two hundred different varieties and 
wish to cut down on this number as it entails too much record 
keeping. They are in color shades from white to rose (sorry, but 
no reds), You name the color desired and the price on named 
varieties of my choice will be 75¢ each and the un=-named 
varieties will be 50¢ each. All labelled standard three to five 
eye divisions. And for those who would like to save some money 
by growing them an extra year, am offering one to two eye divisions 
at one-half the regular price of the standard division. We plant 
these small divisions ourselves in order to increase our stocks. 
There will be an initial 50¢ packing and shipping charge on all 
orders, that way there will be no minimum size on orders accepted. 
Most of my business is local, especially from people 
that see these peonies in bloom, so that they can choose the kind 
that they prefer, do not issue a descriptive catalogue nor do we 
push the mail order business, but do depend on satisfied customers 
that tell their friends. Do not claim to raise the best in the 
world, but do. our best to -try Ho Mini out a good package at a fair 
price. 
Sincerely yours, 
a
