WINTER AND SPRING FLOWERING BULBS AND PLANTS

Dingee Hardy Peonies 



For Fall Planting 



Of all the flowers in the Hardy Garden 

 the Peony is easily recognized as the 

 Queen — in fact, it vies with the Rose for 

 the title in many ways, for while in bloom it 

 is without question the most glorious object 

 in the garden. Once Peonies are planted 

 they last for a life timo. They stand the 

 severest winters without the slightest pro- 

 tection. Especially fine for single speci- 

 mens and cemetery planting. After bloom- 

 ing their charm lies in the beauty of the 

 foliage, for even when not in bloom the 

 Peony plant is decorative in the extreme 

 and well worthy of a prominent place in the 

 garden. 



We offer only the cream of the many 

 hundred varieties. Don't buy the 

 cheap kinds. They require just as 

 much care, but don't produce the 

 blooms.

Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora 



The New Everblooming Hydrangea is, as its 

 name implies, constantly in bloom from early in 

 June until frost, and is one of the most important 

 additions in the way of hardy shrubs ever introduced. 

 All summer long it bears great clusters of white 

 flowers, much like the tender Hydrangea in size and 

 foim; it will grow to perfection in partial shade, 

 making it most valuable for massing under trees or 

 growing on north side of house. Handsome bright 

 green foliage. 



Price, strong, vigorous plants, well rooted, 

 35 cts. each; 3 for $1.00, postpaid; larger, 

 field-grown plants, with several branches, fine 

 roots, 75 cts. each; $7.50 doz., postpaid. Extra 

 heavy 3 ft. plants $1.00 by express.
