CHOICE HERBACEOUS VARIETIES. 



No class of plants is more easily grown 

 than Paeonies and few so generously 

 repay the care given them. They are 

 perfectly hardy and thrive in almost any 

 soil, but any extra attention given them will be amply re- 

 paid; deeply cultivated and well enriched loam suits them 

 best. In shady places, where few plants will succeed. 

 luxuriantly. They thrive equally well in sunny situations, and 

 shrubbery or on either side of walks they are very effective.
