SUPERB PEONIES 
For a number of years I have been deeply interested in the beauty and the 
growing of choice peonies, and am now in a position to offer to my customers and 
friends some superb varieties. I have limited my selection to those varieties 
which have been show winners, and some of which have most enviable records. 
The descriptive list that follows shows the rating or score of most of the 
varieties. A rating of 10 is perfect. You will note that most of the varieties 
listed have very high scores. Those which do not have a rating are of such 
recent introduction that they have not yet been scored and given a rating. The 
name in parenthesis are those of the originators. My root divisions are of the 
highest quality, large, strong, and healthy, carry from 3 to 5 strong eyes, often 
times more than that. Delivery can be made only in the fall of 1955. Spring 
delivery can not be made. We do our best to please our customers. Give us a trial.
