P/EONIES. Choice Herbaceous Varieties. 



TSTo class of plants is more easily grown than Pieonies, 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 aDd well enriched loam suits them best. In shady places, 

 where few plants will succeed, Pieonies will grow luxuriantly. Such spots are usually to be found, and 

 the colors of the flowers are brighcer and they last much longer if fully exposed to the sun. The 

 plants, however, thrive equally well in sunny situations, and planted in front of shrubbery or on 

 either side of walks they are very effective. Our collection embraces many handsome sorts.
