PAEONIES. 



Choice Herbaceous varieties. 



Paeonies have continued to increase in popular favor with 

 each succeeding year as pre-eminent among our hardy perennial 

 plants. In response to the increasing demand, cultivators of 

 this beautiful plant have enthusiastically engaged themselves 

 in introducing and propagating new varieties, aiming at more 

 perfect flowers of more delicate tints, and deeper, richer shades. 

 The new varieties' themselves sufficiently attest the success of 

 these efforts. Not to have seen any of them at its best is to 

 have missed a flower exquisitely lovely. From these and our 

 standard varieties one may find any shade or combination of 

 colors he may desire to enhance the beauty of his lawn or her- 

 baceous' border. 



No class of plants is more easily grown than Paeonies, and 

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

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

 tion given them will be amply repaid; deeply cultivated and 

 well enriched loam suits them best. In shady places, where 

 few plants will succeed, Paeonies will grow luxuriantly. Such 

 spots are usually to be found, and the colors of the flowers are 

 brighter and they last much longer than if fully exposed to the 

 sun. The plants, however, thrive equally well in sunny situa- 

 tions, and planted in front of shrubbery or on either side of 

 walks they are very effective. 



Our stock is very large, embracing an extensive assortment 

 of the newest and best varieties, from which we have selected 

 the following choice and distinct kinds', all of which we can 

 confidently recommend:
