PHLOXES. 



PAEONIES 



CHOICE HERBACEOUS VARIETIES. 



No class of plants is more easily grown than Paeonies and few so 

 g-enerously repay the care given them. 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.
