THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



33 



PEONIES, the glory of June, are the aristocrats of the nardy garden. They surpass the rhododendron when planted in 

 masses, and rival the rose in delicacy of color and fragrance. Peonies never can become common; those who become 

 the possessors of these rare sorts will have an asset of distinct worth, which will increase in value from year to year. 

 The collection of Peonies at Wyomissing contains the new and rare introductions— many of them at present found only 

 in the gardens of Peony connoisseurs. For those who desire to possess some of these distinct varieties I have made a 

 personal selection of sorts showing a wide range of colors and type, and here offer them in collections for fall planting:

FARR'S HARDY PLANT SPECIALTIES 



Money cannot buy a treatise on Peonies and Iris so complete and authoritative, because no other book of this character is in existence — yet I will 

 mail you a copy free if you will send me your name and address, and mention the Garden Magazine, for I want you to know Peonies as I know them. 

 September and October is the best time to plant Peonies, for then with the strong roots I send, you will obtain a large percentage of bloom the first season.
