M. BUECHLY Proprietor GREENVILLE, OHIO □ MEMBER AMERICAN PEONY ASSOCIATION TELEPHONE A-2027 □ Buechly’s Price-List and Brief Description of Perennials DEAR twenty years ago I planted a dozen or more peonies, most of them proved to be very ordinary flowers. However, among them were such good ones as a Festiva Maxima, Floral Treasure, Dorchester and Mons. Jules Elie. But it was not till 1915 that I was really inocu- lated with the peony enthusiasm and planted more exten- sively of the very best that I could find among leading growers in America, and some from Europe. To these I have been adding some select stock each year. My ambition is to have a nice clean business to which I can give my personal attention without help, and have stock that I can guarantee true to name. If by some means any mistake should occur, I am ready any time to make restitu- tion double the cost of the stock. My first effort in exhibit- ing at Reading, Pa., this year, (1920), goes to show that I have the goods, — winning two first and three second premiums — $47.00 cash prizes on five entries. My gardens are located in the Miami valley of western Ohio noted for its fertile soils, and which the peony finds congenial to its welfare. In addition I give good culture, which enables me to produce plants second to none. Though this list is a modest one, it comprises a majority of the best peonies grown. Prices per dozen on the cheaper varieties of peonies is ten times the price of single plants. Address all communications to, E. M. BUECHLY, Greenville, Ohio PEONIES Adelaide E.
