NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS 1929 Wholesale Price List 1929 of PEONIES Prices herein are for the trade only and are absolutely net, without discount. Divisions are strong 3 to 5 eye standard size made from two and three year old plants, thus insuring vigorous stock. All varieties are guaranteed to be true to name and in healthy condition.

In ordering less than five of any one variety, take the retail price list and deduct 30% from price per each. The above discounts apply to any variety listed $35.00 or less per plant.
