PEONIES

No FLOWERS exceed the Peonies in popularity; and none are more easily grown. They are seldom attacked by insects or disease, and are perfectly hardy, requiring no covering in the severest weath- er. They thrive in all kinds of soil and flourish in a rich, deep loam. They demand much moisture at blooming time, and if grown in partial shade the blooms will, therefore, last longer and be equally flne in other respects.

No hardy perennial is of more permanent value than the Peony. The flrst cost is the only cost, and they continue to increase in size and value for many years. The foliage is rich and of beautiful deep green color, which renders the plant very ornamental even when out of flower, and no other flowers are so well adapted for interior decoration and none make more massive color effect when planted in a border or in a bed on the lawn. Their popularity has increased during the past few years since the new improved va- rieties have been disseminated. Peonies range in color from cream and pure white through the various shades of pink and red to the deepest purple and maroon, in all possible combinations of tint and form.

Seven Good Reasons for the Popularity of the Peony

As given by Prof. J. Eliot Coit in the Cornell Peony Bulletin:

1. They are easy to grow; anyone can raise •glorious Peonies with less trouble than it takes to grow roses.

2. Peonies well established are permanent fea- tures in the garden, or at least as permanent as is ■desirable.

3. Peonies are perfectly hardy wherever apples can be grown, passing through the most severe win- ter without injury, and being very easily protected where not hardy.

4. The blooms are large, showy, of various forms, and of all shades of color from white to purple, even pale yellow.

5. Many of the varieties are deliciously fra- grant.

6. They are practically free from disease and insects. No spraying, dusting, or hand-picking of worms is necessary.

7. They are equally successful as a cut flower and for artistic landscape effects.

He also adds: “There is the greatest variation

in color, form, and fragrance. Any color may be obtained, from pure white to dark purple and pale yellow. Any form may be had from the ephemeral single, with five or six petals and a mass of golden stamens in the center, up through all the stages of doubling to the massive double with all stamens and carpels replaced by petals.

We would add that in some localities the rose bug is troublesome, especially on the lighter colored varieties. We have found the most satisfactory way of handling this “bug” is to plant its favorite flower near Peonies and Roses. It will leave either one for the flowers of Astilbe, which bloom at the same time.

Our general catalogue was sent in Spring to all our customers. It contains a complete list of Rosedale stock. Copy will be sent free to all new customers. The book is so valuable that we are quite sure all our old customers have kept their copy.

SuitablePlaces for Peonies

Since peonies are very decorative in all situations not only because of the splendor of their blooms but also from their attractive foliage, they are not out of place in almost any location. Care should be taken, however, not to plant them too near the spreading roots of trees and shrubs which would rob them of nourishment and moisture but partial shade from trees at a dis- tance is beneficial. Peonies make a very attractive border along a path or driveway, especially If planted alternately with phlox so that the season of bloom may be continued most of the summer. They are also very effective in large beds, either alone or interspersed with Japanese Lilies which bloom In August. If de- sired for abundance of cut fiowers only, they may be planted in the vegetable garden.

Types of Peonies

Single. Those with a single row of wide guards, and a center of yellow pollen-bearing stamens.

Semi-Double. Those with several rows of wide pet- als, and a center of stamens and partially trans- formed petalolds.

Japanese. These have wide guards the same as the Singles, but with the stamens and anthers great- ly enlarged into narrow, thick, petalolds of vari- ous colors, tipped with vestiges of the yellow anthers without pollen.

Anemone. A step farther in the process of doubline, with the stamens all transformed into short, narrow petals, forming a round cushion in the center of the flower.

Crown. In this type wide petals are developed in the center of the flower, forming a high crown.

with the narrow, short petals forming a ring or collar around it. Often the crown and guards are of one color and the collar another, or lighter shade.

Bomb. The next step in which all the center petals are uniformly wide, approaching the guards, but distinctly differentiated from them, forming a globe-shaped center without collar or crown.

Semi-Bose. Flowers in which the petals are all uni- formly wide, but are loosely built, with a few pollen-bearing stamens visible, or nearly con- cealed.

Rose. The process of doubling is completed, all sta- mens fully transformed into evenly arranged wide petaloids, similar to the guards, forming a perfect rose-shaped bloom.

Astilbe — A Good Collecting Agency for Bose Bugs,

[From NEW YORK.]

I wish you would send me a list of your peonies, more of colors and shapes, than anything else. I am going to place this order with you because you have always handled every propo- sition I sent you absolutely on the square and it has been a pleasure.

[From LENOX, MASS.]

A man for whom we selected 100 Peony Roots writes:

Your peonies have been most satis- factory and the varieties very well chosen.

[From NEW YORK.]

Peonies are beautiful. Began to loom June 12th. Very delicate shade of pink. Wish I had a lot more.

[From MASSACHUSETTS.]

Some years ago before I was mar- ried, I got from you some peonies and some lilies which all turned out well and I would like your catalogue for fall planting.

Peony Root

Culture of

The Peony is of exceedingly easy culture, perfect- ly hardy and not very particular about the nature of the soil; but it is particular about having good fer- tility.

SOIL. To perfect so many large blooms as a good clump of Peonies will set, the soil should be well prepared so that plenty of nourishment as well as moisture may be had at blooming time. Although any good fertilizer, if well incorporated with the soil, will do, none is better than well rotted cow manure, which should be used in liberal quantities, but placed far enough below the roots so that the rootlets will not be affected by it until they have well started to grow. If the subsoil is of a good loamy texture, the excavation of two feet with a layer of six inches of well rotted cow manure at the bottom, well spaded in, will be sufficient. If, however, the subsoil is of the nature of light sand or hardpan, It should be removed entirely and alternate layers of old sods and manure put in its place. Heavy clay should be lightened by the aid of sand, leaf mold and manure, mixing it thoroughly by overturning it several times.

PLANTING. The time to plant Peonies is Sep- tember and October, although they may be safely planted whenever the ground is open until April 1st. Do not plant before September 15th lest the roots should not be well ripened; and do not leave the mat- ter until spring, for they are snre to make consider- able growth before the ground is workable. Like other plants, the roots should be planted at the proper depth and the earth very tightly packed among and over them. Be sure to set the eyes about three inches below the surface. Plants should be set at least three feet apart so that they will have ample room for development.

After the ground is frozen to a depth of two or three inches it is well to cover the plants the first season with a light dressing of manure to keep them from heaving by the frost. They do not need to have protection from the cold and will not need it after the first winter as the roots will have fast hold of the ground and will endure the most severe cli- mate. If covered too deeply or planted too deeply they are apt to send up blind buds.

CULTIVATION. In early spring as soon as the ground has dried out sufficiently, the soil about the plants should be dug over to work in the manure

the Peony

and pulverize the soil. Shallow cultivation should be continued at intervals all summer to maintain the dust mulch.

A good way to utilize the ground the first season or two is to plant a row of Phlox between the rows of Peonies. Should there be an extreme drought in April or May, a thorongh drenching of the beds once or twice a week would well repay in extra bloom. As Phloxes are fond of the same treatment these plants thrive well together, the latter giving a suc- cession of bloom for two months after the Peonies are over.

If large, individual blooms are desired, the lateral buds should be removed early, thus throwing all the strength into the one central bud; and, if exhibi- tion blooms are wanted, several of the stems may be pinched off when they first emerge from the ground leaving two or three of the stronger ones which will take the entire strength of the plant. An application of liquid manure to the roots once a week soon after the buds have formed, will also increase the size and color of the fiower.

AS A CUT FLOWER the Peony is unexcelled. Cut when the first outer petal rolls back and place in a cool room, always giving the flower stems a fresh cut every day, and also fresh water. The moment the buds are cut they should be dropped into a bucket of water. Developed in this way, most va- rieties will last a week. To retard them several days, place them in a room that is cool and dark. In this way they may be kept beyond their period of bloom and will open larger and of better color than those left on tne plant.

[From INDIANA.]

I received the order for peonies promptly on October 8th. The stock is very fine, as you had assured me it would be. I received quite a number of roots from another grower who made great claims for the superiority of what he sent out. Those that I received from you, I think, ran a little more regu- lar than what I received from the other grower. In each case the stock was excellent.

I thank you for your promptness in this matter and also for the extra clump of Ville de Nancy.

Prices

Alba Sulpburea.

For the high quality of plants we offer our prices are very reasonable. While we do not laud certain va- rieties to the skies and charge a double price for them, yet our prices for some varieties will, per- haps, be found to vary from those of some other growers. Price as a rule is regulated by the sup- ply and demand; but, in the case of Peonies, the price is often regulated as well by the quantity of the stock one may have of certain varieties. Another reason that makes prices vary is that one variety may increase two or three times as rapidly as an- other, being a stronger grower. Thus, the fact that a Peony is sold cheap may oe a high recommen- dation for it; e. g. Cou- ronne d’Or, a favorite white variety, strong grower and free bloomer,

(therefore greatly in de- mand), has decreased in price although of recent introduction, because of its rapid increase, while Livingstone and Pestiva Maxima, slower multipliers, have kept up in

price. We have made our prices in accordance with our motto: “Prices as Low as Consistent with

Highest Quality”. Every year about one-third of our roots are made into divisions of 3 to 5 eyes, re- planted and sold the following years for 1, 2 and 3

Peonies True to Name

Having a large stock from which I send out only plants of my own growing, I can warrant the authen- ticity of the varieties. I have befen most careful in purchasing stock from thoroughly reliable sources.

I have been taking the utmost care from year to year to keep them pure.

All synonyms.

All the inferior varieties All the varieties of doubtful authenticity are rigorously excluded.

The new varieties of peonies are so attractive that I have delighted to spend much of the time among them in June during the eleven years I have been making them my leading fall specialty. I pride myself in the fact that I have a great majority of the finest varieties in cultivation for many of which I have been awarded first prizes by the American Peony Society at their annual exhibitions.

[From INDIANA.]

I bought peonies from three sources, and I am frank to say your root divisions were very fine and of liberal size. There was nothing superior to them and the packing was just what I wanted.

[From NEW YORK.]

Will you be good enough to send Mr.

your latest catalogue of peonies? I wish you could see my peonies this year. They are certainly won- derful.

[From NEW YORK.]

I bought of seven or eignt prominent peony growers in America and Europe last fall and your roots were among the best I received.

[From NEW YORK.]

It is always perfectly right to use anything that I may write you. When I run across a fellow who is as honest in the quality of nis stock as you have always been, it is a pleasure not only to say goodi things to his face but to tell them over and over again to my friends.

Special Offer on Varieties for Landscape Work

For some years most Peony growers have been adding to and rejecting more or less from their list, some carrying a large number of varieties, others satisfied with a limited number of varieties. We have no desire to carry a larger list than herein ofEered. In fact, this year, wishing materially to reduce the number, we have placed in the following list varieties generally considered good, but for one reason or another, not quite up to our ideal. Let it not be thought that because we are rejecting these varieties they are not worthy of planting, for some of the varieties are priced elsewhere at $1.00 each, and the others are priced at 50 cents each by one of the largest and most reliable growers. It is because our ideal is high that we shall reject these varieties and therefore offer them to you in quantity at especially low rates. While some of them are desirable for the garden, we put them all into one class useful for landscape work, and offer them one year size at $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per hundred. The hundred rate will be allowed for fifty or more plants provided not less than three of a kind are ordered. No discounts will be allowed on this special offer.

Descriptions and Price List of Peonies

The varieties we offer are arranged in two classes, double and single, in each of which the names are ar- ranged alphabetically, and where known, the name and date of the introducer immediately follows in parentheses. As color comes first in the choice of Peonies, we have placed the color on the line same as the name. Size and type naturally appeal next, and so follow the color. Having found these satisfactory in any variety described, one naturally next looks for the character and habit of the plant. To further aid purchasers we have made an alphabetical list of colors. See page 5. In addition, we shall be pleased to give by letter further information to intending purchasers. See discounts, page 6. No charge for box- ing and packing.

How and When to Plant Bulbs

Bulb planting out-of-doors should be as early as the middle of October for best results, and even earlier. In the case of Lilium Candidum, Iris, Colchicum and Narcissus, August and September is none too early. Dutch bulbs should be planted evenly about six inches to the bottom of the bulb, in well prepared soil. Lilies should be 8 to 10 incnes below the surface. If planted at uneven depths, they will not bloom evenly. After the ground is frozen cover the bed with leaves or stable litter to the depth of six inches, and remove it early in the spring. Bulbs may be left in the ground and will bloom just as well the second year. If the bed is used for Geraniums, Salvias, or other bedding plants (except those with large roots, like Gannas) the bulbs need not be disturbed by setting the plants between them after the blossoms are gone. The leaves of the bulbs will soon die down, leaving the bedding plants alone in sight.

It has been my practice, since I began to import bulbs nineteen years ago, to buy for my customers the very best stock grown, believing that Amer- icans are not only as appreciative of the best, but also as able to pay for select bulbs, as are the people of Europe. The result is that I have built up a magnificent trade amid the fiercest competition among large dealers, many of whom have yielded to the cry for cheap bulbs. To se- cure the low prices at which I offer these choice, picked bulbs, orders should be placed early, as they are filled in rotation. You need not pay, of course, until delivery of the bulbs.

My method of securing the best at less than the price for common stock is worth a trial by all who buy bulbs in any quantity.

Forcing Bulbs

Tulips in pots make a magnificent display if ten or twelve bulbs of one variety are grown in an 8-inch pot or seed pan, or seven bulbs in a 6- inch pot. Any good garden soil does very well, but the best consists of three parts of fibrous loam, one part of well rotted manure and one part sand. Place a piece of broken pot or coal over the hole, fill the pot about two-thirds full of soil, and jar it down somewhat; set the bulbs on this soil about the same distance apart and cover them to the depth of an inch, pressing the soil around them firmly with the hand. Soak With water and set the pots away in a dark, cool room, where they should not be allowed to get dry (they may need watering once in two or three weeks); or dig a trench in the garden, set in coal ashes to the depth of several inches. Before the ground freezes, place over them a good depth of coarse manure or leaves to keep from freezing, so that the pots may be brought into the house as wanted. Do not bring them into a very warm room.

Hyacinths, Crocuses, Narcissi, etc., should be treated the same way, except that the crowns of the Hyacinths should not be covered. Hyacinths should be planted singly in 5-inch pots, or three or four in 7- or 8-inch pots. Successful bulb culture depends upon getting roots well established in the pot at a low temperature of 40 to 50 degrees before bringing them into a temperature of a living room to form the tops. New pots should soak in water over night before using.

We guarantee our bulbs equal to any imported, no matter what claims are made or prices asked.

By placing your order with us be- fore July 1st, you will save 20% from the prices on all the bulbs listed in the following pages.

The high quality of the bulbs will remain unchanged. The stock will be obtained from the same reliable grow- ers who have supplied us for the past nineteen years.

You need not pay until bulbs are ready for delivery. References will be expected from new customers.

We are offering below, in a number of varieties. Mother Bulbs at prices of ordinary size, which should in- duce many to give our bulbs a trial. 5 at 10 rate, 50 at 100 rate, 250 a 1,000 rate.

The prices have been quite high, but at the low rate offered this year, no garden or border should be without them.

From NEW YORK.

I enclose list of bulbs for fall potting. Blindly let me have your price on the list. The stock yon sent me iast fall was the best lot I ever received, and if you can do as weil or better I shail be glad to place order.

From RHODE ISLAND.

From NEW YORK.

I am always saying a good word for S. G. Harris. Only last evening one of my neighbors who is going to buy some bulbs asked me where I got mine and of course I told her there was only one place. By the way, it might be well for you to send her one of your catalogues.

Wishing you the success which I feel that you de- serve and assuring you I will be glad to send you an order for some more bulbs this fall, I remain.

[From NEW YORK.]

I am in receipt of your catalogue this morning and wish to thank j’-ou for same. You may remember fiiiing my order awhiie ago for peonies and I write to say that I had spiendid success with all the plants. They were simply wonderful and excited the admiration of my neighbors and also that of all observers.

By the way, I just want to say that that last dozen you sold to me are beyond any question the most beautiful exhibition thac I ever laid ej'es on without any exception — of course, that is according to my own taste — but people will come from the street and go into my garden to stand and admire them.
