<f|g||fl^QHICAN PEONIES
What Kind of Peonies?
THERE are upwards of two thousand varieties of Peonies, and it is a fact
—which no grower or nurseryman can honestly dispute—that hundreds
of them are so nearly alike as to be practically identical. In any event, only
an expert can distinguish the difference. If you send to certain worthy
growers for a catalog or list you will be confronted with more or less accurate descriptions
of perhaps from two
to five hundred sorts.
The average retail
customer is confused
and perplexed by
this array. He wants
a few of the very
best — and that is
just the want this
catalog will fill.
Our List
Our list now consists of one hundred
carefully 'selected
sorts of Herbaceous
Peonies. We are, and
have been for years,
growing several hundred varieties. The
number and character of the varieties
in our fields has
been constantly
changing and shifting as we have cast
some out because
not entirely worthy
and selected new
ones as they came
into general cultivation. We deem our
varieties the choicest and best and the
most distinct of the
many hundreds in
cultivation. The
points constantly
kept in mind in making our selections
have been size, perfection of form, fragrance, vigor of bloom, lasting quality
o± cut flowers and landscape effect. The entire range of form and color is
covered absolutely and all of the exquisite and really worthy new things of
French, British and American production have been added.
If you do not find listed in this booklet a variety you think
ought to be there, it is because a better one has displaced it or
because it is practically identical with one listed.
