Wilmette 290 FAMED PEONIES PLACED ON SALE Dispose of Parts of James R. Mann Collection North shore folk who dote on gar- dening and treasure the fine blooms of the dooryard, are apprised of an unusual opportunity to become availed of something rare in the realm of peonies. These come from the zardens of the late Congressman James R. Mann, a nationally known floriculturist, who boasted one of the finest peony col- lections in the United States. Congressman Mann passed away last February and his collection, con- taining priceless varieties, has been removed from his gardens in E. 73rd street, Chicago, to Crystal: Lake, where they are placed in the care of John Van Steen, a flower hobbyist, who worked with Congressman Mann, and will henceforth devote his entire time to the cultivation and care of the treasured possession. The collec- tion will be maintained intact, insofar, as the plant varieties are concerned, but divisions from the various va- rieties are now being made available to gardeners interested in peony culture. Congressman Mann's collection rep- resents almost a lifetime of painstak- ing study and unceasing effort to bring it to the point of approximate perfection. He took pride in main- taining a card index and loose-leaf system of records on every plant in some 1,400 different varieties of peonies. He became thoroughly fa- miliar with every variety that came under his observation and developed many priceless varieties. Because of his wide acquaintance- ship, among floriculturists in this country, as well as among foreign diplomats at Washington, he was giv- en many of the very rarest peonies in existence. Among these were gifts from Japanese, French and English notables. ? ag Fb Mr. Van Steen is a well known peony expert and regards it as a lov- ing obligation to retain intact all the varieties of the recent prized posses- sion of his departed friend and associ- ate. Mrs. T. M. Brooks, who resides at Cherry and Walnut streets, Winnet- ka, is the north shore representative for the sales department of the peony farm.

He was twice elected governor and recently elected United States sena- tor, the only Democratic governor of Michigan in. 35 years, and the only Democratic senator of that state in 70 years. For many years he has been devoted to educational interests and has done a remarkable work with boys and men, as founder and head of the famous Ferris Institute at Big Rapids, Michigan, where, over a pzriod of 40 years, he has personally super- vised the training of some 50,000 young men, many of whom are now recog- nized as leaders in their field of activity. It is a rare tr:at to hear Senator Ferris who is con sidered one of Ameri- ca's most brilliant orators, it is said. The program has been arranged un- der the auspices of the Neighbors.

FRANK BOROVICKA hin Winnetka 283 nnn, YOU PAY MORE THAN H Why do you see so many Packard Sixes in front of splendid homes and exclusive clubs? Is it because of Packard prestige and the luxury of Packard motoring? Yes and no. In the long run, splendid home less to operate and maintain his Packard Six than it costs you to drive your 3-year ordinary car. Get the facts from him about gasoline and tire mileage, repair bills, insurance, long life and re-sale value. You'll find he has your figures beaten by a wide margin. So why deprive yourself of all the joys of Packard ownership when they really cost you less than you are now paying? Many prefer totake advantageof Packard's extremely liberal time payment plan to enjoy immediately the advantages of a Packard Six or Packard Eight-- purchasing out cf income instead of capital, just as it costs the owner of that practically all other necessities are now bought.
