PAEONIES 



Choice Herbaceous Varieties. 



Paeonies have continued to increase in popular favor 

 with each succeeding year as pre-eminent among our hardy 

 perennial plants. In response to the increasing demand, 

 cultivators of this beautiful plant have enthusiastically en- 

 gaged themselves in introducing and propagating new 

 varieties, aiming at more perfect flowers of more delicate 

 tints and deeper, richer shades. The new varieties them- 

 selves sufficiently attest the success of these efforts. Not 

 to have seen any of them at its best is to have missed a 

 flower exquisitely lovely. 



No class of plants is more easily grown than Paeonies 

 and few repay the care given them so generously. They ai'e 

 perfectly hardy and thrive in almost any soil, but any extra 

 attention given them will be amply repaid; deeply cultivat- 

 ed and well enriched loam suits them best. In shady places, 

 where few plants will succeed, Paeonies will grow luxuriant- 

 ly. Such spots are usually to be found, and the colors of 

 the flowers are brighter and they last much longer than 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.
