A SPECIAL OFFERING 


of a few items for shipment 


during the Early Fall of 1951 


July 16, 1951 


tN 


BRYANT’S NURSERIES, PRINCETON, ILLINOIS 


FOR FALL PLANTING 


IN ADVANCE of our regular Fail Wholesale Price List, which will be 
ready early in September, we are issuing this preliminary list covering Peonies 
and Evergreens, items that will be wanted for early shipment this Fall. Ship- 
ment of Evergreens can be made at any time after the middle of August, and 
we will begin digging Peonies the first week in September. 


Our regular terms and conditions of sale will apply on all stock offered in this 
list. Please refer to our regular price lists for a complete description of these terms. 


PACKING :—The prices in this list do not include packing for local shipment, which 
is additional at cost. Peonies will, however, in lieu of discount, be packed free where 
cash accompanies the order. 


TERMS :—On established credit, 2% discount for payment within ten days of invoice 
date, due net first of second month following date of invoice. 


PEONIES 


Peonies have been a specialty with us for many years and we are offering a very 
extensive list of varieties that have been very carefully culled of undesirable types, so 
that all the varieties offered have some especial merit. The list includes many of the 
newer and better varieties as well as a comprehensive list of varieties of medium 
price, in a full range of color, form, and blooming season. 


Descriptions in a list of this type are necessarily limited and where fuller de- 
scriptions are required they will be sent on request. All varieties are understood to 
be what is technically known as “double type” unless otherwise specified. 

Figures following the name of the variety show ratings according to the latest 


classification of the American Peony Society. (*) indicates newer varieties not yet 
rated. 


GRADE:—All of the plants offered are strong divisions of three year old plants, 
carrying from 3 to 5 eyes, well rooted, well balanced, and well developed plants. 


SPECIAL APPLICATION OF PRICES:—5 plants of a variety will be furnished at 
the rate per 10, 30 or more at the rate per 100. The rate per 100 will also apply 
on orders for named varieties totaling 100 plants or more when such orders call 
for not less than ten plants of a variety. Less than five plants of a variety will be 
furnished at 5c per plant over the rate per 10, except for varieties listing at 
$10.00 or more per 10, where the rate per 10 will apply on all quantities. 


CUT-FLOWER VARIETIES :—Many varieties of Peonies, even some of those carry- 
ing the highest ratings, have certain peculiarities of growth and flower which 
make them entirely unsuited for growing’ for commercial cut flowers. The best 
varieties for cut flowers must be reliable and prolific bloomers with long, strong 
upright stems, good foliage and firm petals of good substance. They must open 
well when cut in bud and must handle well in shipment and in storage. We are 
listing below a number of varieties that have proven their value as commercial 
producers of cut flowers, the varieties in black face type being those that we 
particularly recommend.

EVERGREENS 


Prices quoted are for specimen plants that have been regularly transplanted and 
carefully grown and sheared, suitable for the best landscape work. Unless otherwise 
instructed, we dig all of our Evergreens B&B. We always dig fresh for each order. 


Where customers wish to make special selection of Evergreens and mark trees 
in the nursery, we will be glad to reserve such trees for them, but an additional 
charge depending on value, usually 20%, will be made. Where such selections are 
not for immediate shipment, a deposit of 25% of the order will be required to guar- 
antee acceptance. 


JUNIPERUS chinensis columnaris glauca — Blue Chinese Column Juniper 20 ft.

maintain its marrow compact shape with little shearing. 
A very valuable plant for landscape plantings, as it 
grows very well in hot dry locations and is also immune 
to severe cold. The blue form has an attractive glaucous 
blue foliage.
