Bolgiano's Fragrant Paeonies 



, "QUEEN OF SPRING FLOWERS" 



The old-fashioned Pseony officinalis in our grandmother's garden, while still popular because of their eau-l> flower- 

 ing, have been eclipsed by the wonderfully improved sorts introduced in recent years. They are the "Queen of Spring 

 Flowers," and are well adapted for massing in beds, and particularly valuable for planting in groups throughout the 

 perennial or shrubbery border, where their brilliant hues add attraction to all around. Their requirements are so 

 simple — a good, rich, deep soil, and an open, sunny position, which, however, is not absolutely necessary, as they thrive 

 almost equally as well in a partly shaded position, and a liberal supply of water during their growing season Tbeing 

 sufficient to give an abundance and wealth of flowers, which rival the finest Roses in coloring and fragrance, and pro- 

 duce during their flowering season a gorgeous effect not equaled by any other flower. They are perfectly hardy, 

 requiring no protection whatever, even in the most severe climate, and once planted increase in beauty each year. 



An important point to observe In the planting of Herbaceous Paeonies is not to plant too deep. The roots should 

 be placed so that the crowns are covered with 2 inches of soil. Too deep planting is a frequent cause of shy flowering.

Large Flowering Cannas 



DORMANT ROOTS— STRONG DIVISIONS OF TWO OR THREE EYES 



Enormous brilliant clusters of blooms^ borne on spikes above broad leaves 

 of green or bronze in tropical effect characterize the Camna bed of today. 

 No other bedding plant will give the same uniform good results in our varied 

 and trying climate. No garden is complete, whether it be lau-ge or small, 

 without a Canna bed. 



Culture. Cannas should be planted in good, rich gau-den soil, mixed with 

 half of old rotten stable manure, by the end of May, when danger from frost 

 is past. Water sparingly for first two weeks after planting. When growing 

 freely, water liberally. Set the plants about 18 inches apart each way, and 

 if more than one kind is used, be careful to plant the taller growing kinds in 

 the center and the dwarf ones along the edge. This applies to plamting in beds.
