82 _CURRIE BROTHERS’ FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL. 
PAEONIES. 
y CHOICE HERBACEOUS VARIETIES. i 
No class of plants is more easily grown than Pzonies, and few repay the care give’ 
them so generously. They are perfectly hardy and thrive in almost any soil, but any 
extra attention given them will be amply repaid; deeply cultivated and well enrichec 
loam suits them best. In shady places, where few plants will succeed, Ponies will grow 
luxuriantly. Such spots are usually to be fcund, and the colers of the flowers are brighte 
and they last much longer than if fully exposed to the sun. The plants, however, thrive 
equally wellin sunny situations, and planted in front of shrubbery or on either side o 
walks they are very effective. Our collection embraces many new and handsome sorts. }

The dwarf varieties of these very popular plants are remarkable for tneir fine, dense 
and procumbent foliage, which clothes the ground as with a carpet of evergreen verdure, 
rendering the plant exceedingly useful for covering dry and exposed banks or for edging 
beds and borders. But their most remarkable feature is the. profusion of their flowers, 
which in early summer create a blaze of color difficult to describe. They are very easily 
grown.
