LIST OF CHOICE PAEONIES FOR 1916. 



83 



PAEONIES 



CHOICE HERBACEOUS VARIETIES. 



No class of plants Is more easily 



grown than Paeonies and few repay the 



care given them so generously. They 



are perfectly hardy and thrive in almost 



any soil, but any extra attention given them will be amply 



repaid; deeply cultivated and well enriched loam suits them 



best. In shady places, where few plants will succeed, 



Paeonies will grow luxuriantly. They thrive equally well in sunny situations, 



and planted in front of shrubbery or on either side of walks they are very effective.
