I ordered five peonies - received enormous roots that were well packed. Good communication with customer service.
Would order from them again.
On November 6th, 2011, bryana added the following:

ordered Autens pride, Diana Parks, Port Royale, Solange, Solfatare & White Cap. All were good sized roots and well packaged.

Two years ago I went to the little farm during peony season to pick out a variety that would stand up to rain-I arrived 10 minutes before closing, but the charming proprietor took me on a short tour- Bartzella was the obvious choice. I ordered them, then at planting time I got two BIG plants that have done great.

I ordered Paeonia mlokosewitschii from A&D this past fall. The division I received was bigger than I expected, and I was delighted to have four lovely soft yellow blooms this spring. Molly-the-witch can vary into shades of pink, but that's not the case with A&D's divisions in my experience. I will be ordering from A&D again!

A & D Nursery is outstanding and provides the best customer service and plant information available. Emailed inquiries as well as telephone messages are answered very promptly. I have done business with A & D Nursery for many years and their quality, knowledge, and service continue to remain heads above the rest. A few years back, Mr. Smetana offered me a wonderful choice of high end replacements, no questions asked, for a tree peony that I had purchased which was struggling. The replacement that I chose is now my favorite plant in the garden. Their herbaceous peony roots are huge and choice with beautiful eyes. Almost too beautiful to cover with dirt. High praise for this nursery!

all I can say is WOW! I ordered 4 peonies for their heavy fragrance and blooming time -they sent me MASSIVE clumps with tons of eyes and lots of fleshy fat roots. Great packing, in a plastic bag and wrapped with fresh damp moss. my only regret is that a couple eyes had rubbed off during shipping -darn!
now i wish i had bought more,
their prices are a little higher than some of those bargain 3-5 eye #1 divisions, you know those mass catalogs where they are a 1/2 the price but a tiny little thing in dry peatmoss comes in the mail? these seem much meatier with more eyes, i counted about 6 on each up to 9 or 10 on some others [those few lost eyes won't matter]
they even threw in an extra bonus plant that will fill in my bloom range AND is very fragrant-extremely thoughtful, the guy i spoke with last week was very nice as well, called me back the same day-and considering how LATE i had placed my order, I was pleasantly surprised and how fast the plants came -I ordered late WEDS nite 8pm EST and they arrived MON 3pm!! I am hooked and know where ill be headed for my next peony HIT!

Gorgeous, healthy peony and tree peony roots sent last fall, plus an added extra root sent as well. The arrived well packaged and in great shape. Lots of patience with sending my order to me on the date I needed it d/t my travel schedule. What a surprise to see the how strong these plants are growing this Spring. A number of the peonies sent up lush flowers this Spring. Just gorgeous!

I recently received by first order of four Peonies from A & D Nursery and was more than greatly impressed not only with the quality of their rootstock, but also with their packaging. One peony: "Chestine Gowdy" had exceptionally large healthy roots and the other three: (1) "Florence Nichols and "Philippe Rivoire" (2) had very large healthy roots. Impressive rootstock to say the least!

The four peonies were labeled and packaged very well and arrived with the right amount of moisture to sustain the plants during shipment and brief storage, if needed. In addition, the peony roots came with their recommended fertilizer tablets - free of charge - : three each for each of the four plants with recommendations for placement.

My only "mistake" was not in the ordering, but in the changing of my garden design shortly after their arrival. Originally, I was going to place "Florence Nicholls" in the center and flank her with the two "Philippe Rivoire's" on each side and then plant "Chestine Gowdy" elsewhere. Now that I've planted "Chestine" in the center and have planted "Florence" elsewhere, I've decided that I am in need of another "Florence Nicholls" to provide some balance. Fortunately, "she's" still available for this season.

I will have no problem ordering from this company in the future. A & D Nursery has my highest recommendation.

Ordered 4 peonies from A&D in late December. This was my first order with them. Peonies arrived carefully packed, in excellent condition, and on time (even in the Christmas rush)! They are huge divisions with very large 'eyes' and Don even sent me an extra plant! He could not have been nicer and the 'customer service' was great. I will definitely order from them again!

A&D has a wonderful selection. I ordered 4 herbaceous peonies and 1 tree peony. They shipped me one free bonus variety as well. All were very healthy, the herbaceous varieties had many eyes, and the tree peony was a mature plant. I will update this comment in the Spring when they grow, but I am very happy so far.

I placed an order for several peonies last fall (2002), a couple were itoh peonies, which I had never planted before. This past spring, the itoh peonies that I planted in 2002 did not grow. I wrote to them and asked questions about what could have gone wrong and asked for suggestions for future planting. I was immediatly responded to with suggestions for planting, growing, and will be receiving a replacement for one that didn't make it; which I didn't ask for a replacement - I was certainly greatful they offered! I'm looking forward to receiving my order again this year.
