PEONIES

DESCRIPTIVE LIST

About Our Peonies

The great development of the Peony in-
dustry and the increasing demand for roots
and flowers should induce every gardener,
florist and nurseryman to make a planting
of the standard varieties, and, as his interest
increases, plant a few of the better new
varieties. With a small outlay your plant-
ing will increase in value year after year.

Read This Before Ordering

As we dig and plant all our Peonies in
the Fall, we cannot accept orders later than
October 1st.

GUARANTEE. As liberal as can be made.
If stock is not as represented or what you
have a right to expect, return it to us at
once and the money you have paid us, to-
gether with transportation charges, will be
refunded to you. Fair, isn’t it ?

TERMS CASH. Boxing free, which repre-
sents a cash discount of about 5 per cent.
We will have no loss and you will be taking
no risk.

PACKING is done in the best possible
manner. We use only pure sphagnum moss
for all nursery stock. It costs us more, but
the saving in weight and the insurance
against loss and possible damage more than
offset the cost.

SIZE OF ROOTS. We send out the same
sized roots we use in our own planting. A
well balanced root system, carrying from 3
to 5 eyes, depending on growth of variety.
Unless instructed to the contrary, we trim
all roots, making the plant shapely and sav-
ing transportation charges. We send out no
“clubby” roots.

VISITORS WELCOME. We are located
just south of Auburn Center, 7Mj miles north
of Mantua, and 9 miles southeast of Chagrin
Falls. Cleveland-Youngstown bus lines pass
within a few minutes walk of our nursery —
get off at Auburn Center.
