EXQUISITE PEONIES 



Modern Peonies are rapidly becoming the leading hardy flower- 

 ing plant. They can take the place of low-growing common shrubs 

 because their foliage remains attractive all summer, and besides, 

 they produce every spring an abundance of glorious, fragrant 

 blossoms. 



Peonies are perfectly hardy and do well in any well-drained 

 garden soil. They respond to care, of course, and an application of 

 well-decayed manure every spring or fall is recommendable. 



Plant BO that the eyes are covered with not more than 2 inches 

 of soil. 



Peonies are very attractive planted in beds along the drive in 

 the perennial border, against a background of evergreens. Lilies 

 do very well planted among Peonies. 



THE PEONY RATING — Numbers in front of varieties refer to
