PEONIES FOR MEMORIAL DAY. 



Planning for Next Season. 



Peonies are entering more and more 

 into the life of the people. Eecently, 

 when one of the leading lawyers of 

 Minneapolis gave his daughter in mar- 

 riage, his home was decorated with 

 2,000 peonies and the preference he thus 

 showed for these flowers was only one 

 instance of what fashionable people 

 were doing throughout the country. 



Memorial day is of increasing impor- 

 tance. Then we call a halt; we unfold 

 the past; we look away into the future. 

 And it is the special mission of the 

 florists to supply the most expressive 

 symbols for such occasions. The flow- 

 ers speak eloquently of the cheer and 

 sympathy of nature. When we sorrow- 

 fully laid away the body of my wife, 

 June 21, the flowers seemed to be an 

 introduction to the land "where ever- 

 lasting spring abides and never-wither- 

 ing flowers." 



Reliable Sorts for the North. 



Peonies are especially suitable for 

 Memorial day, but in the most northerly 

 states there is always danger of their 

 being a little tardy. A frequent ques- 

 tion is, what are the best varieties to 

 plant with Memorial day in view?

Pffionia umbellata rosea has never failed 

 to be on time until this abnormal sea- 

 son. It is an attractive variegated 

 light pink. The next in order is the 

 fine old favorite, P. edulis superba. For 

 whites we have mueen Victoria and P. 

 festiva maxima, though sometimes both 

 of these are a little tardy. 



We long have needed a good red and 

 we have found it in Richard Carvel. 

 It is among the earliest. In appear- 

 ance it is radiant and glistening and it 

 is exceedingly fragrant. It seems ready 

 to bloom on the least provocation. I 

 have seen charming flowers produced on 

 it from roots planted the previous fall. 

 Though high-priced, its merits are such 

 that I consider it cheap. The grower 

 should be able to get fifty plants from 

 one in a few years and then the initial 

 cost would seem trifling. Do not forget 

 that September is the planting time.
