Bolgiano’s Fragrant Paeonies 
“ QUEEN OF SPRING FLOWERS ”’ 
The old-fashioned Pony officinalis in our grandmother’s garden, while still popular because of their early 
flowering, 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 being sufficient to give an abundance and wealth of flowers, which rival the finest Roses in 
coloring and fragrance, and produce 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 Ponies 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. Unnamed Paeonies to Color—All Double Flowering
