Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Surplus Peonies From "the Charmed Land"
I am offering two sizes only: One year roots, or three to five eye divi sions, and, in the higher priced varieties, two -eye divisions at a reduction in price. To cut a large sized root, carrying say, eight or ten eyes or sprout-s, into one -eye divisions necessitates cutting that root into eight or ten pieces, and it is almost invariably impossible to do this without splitting one or more parts of the ioot lengthwise. In years past I have on two or three occasions bought and planted Such roots, but my experi ence with them has led me to the conclusion that it is vastly better to pay a little more and get a larger plant With a well-balanced root system. Very often, or at least with some growers, including myself, you can buy this class of root, carrying two eyes, with well balanced roots, and these should prove quite satisfactory, though more immediate results Will be obtained with the three to five -eye divisions. My constant effort will be to furnish plants with good roots in either size offered. That I have been Successful in this endeavor will appear from the appreciative letters printed in this catalogue.
