CHOICE HERBACEOUS VARIETIES 



No class of plants is more easily grown than Paeonies and 

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

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

 . : i given them will be amply repaid; deeply cultivated and well enriched loam 

 suits them best In shady places, where few plants will succeed. Paeon.es 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.
