54 THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 
PEONIES THAT ARE SURE TO BLOOM 
Eee PEONY is America’s coming garden 
flower. Why? Because It is easier to grow 
than the rose, it is perfectly hardy, withstanding 
the severest winter; its blooms are large, showy and 
of various forms, and in any shade from white to 
purple, almost all of its varieties are fragrant, it is 
practically free from disease and insects, requiring 
no spraying or dusting, and is equally adapted as a 
cut flower and for artistic landscape effects. Sep- 
tember is the one month in the year in which 
peonies can be planted with a certainty of success. 
Our plants are of extra fine quality with six to 
eight strong eyes and if planted before October Ist 
will give an abundance of bloom next year.

More Garden Problems That 
Need Solving 
[Note. In the November number, page 180, the Jan- 
uary number, page 282, and the May number, page 236, 
we mentioned fifty-two problems which would make de- 
lightful studies for amateurs. Here are some more. 
In this department we offer $5 or more for the best narra- 
tive of problems worked out. We cannot award these 
| prizes for suggestions of things to be done by someone else; 
each idea must have been worked out by the writer. Crowd 
all the facts and figures into 300 or 400 words if possible. 
Photographs must accompany the manuscript.]
