PAEONIES 



CHOICE HERBACEOUS VARIETIES 



No class of plants is more easily grown than Paeonies and 

 few so generously repay the care g-iven them. They are per- 

 fectly hardv and thrive in almost anv soil, but any extra at- 

 tention g-iven 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 verv effective.
