PEON 1ES-1RIS And Other‘ Speéecialtres™ EET. a 4 ¥ Five Oaks Nursery, Dixon, Illinois eV BL25 For eight years we have been inter- ested in the growing of peonies and iris. We have made personal visits, in blossoming season, to the fields of some of the best peony and iris growers in the country, and have selected a stock of the choicest and best varie- ties, every year adding newer and choicer ones to our list. We now have an acre and a half of strong, healthy plants. PLANTING should be done as early as plants are dormant. Plants of good size will bloom well the following Spring.
