MY HERBACEOUS HYBRIDS advance the peony season by two to three weeks, beginning here about May 12. The last of them, the Lobata hybrids, start in early June, with the great race of albifloras, and continue for two weeks, Japanese Tree Peonies usually bloom from late May on into June, when the Lutea Hybrids begin, followed at last by P. lutea itself.


SUPPLIES of these hybrids have always been short, and now that I am thinking of eventually closing they are shorter than ever. Kindly therefore indicate 2nd choices, and allow me wide latitude in substituting. I am always glad to select plants for you, within given budget any color preference. Every care will be taken


SHIPPING SEASON is September and October. Postage is prepaid, and recipient notified at the time. Check may accompany your order, or I can send bill with shipment.

PRICES have been omitted. Every summer I mail out a new price list, giving prices on all plants available that year.


THOSE INTERESTED IN PEONY BREEDING may still for a few years more obtain from me plants of many hybrid strains at lower con, without the expense of purchasing the catalogued "garden varieties!" My Breeders' List, published each year, is available to anyone upon request.
