Of all the flow, 

 ers in the Hardy 

 Garden the Peony 

 is easily recogniz- 

 ed as the Queen — 

 in fact, it vies wit'i 

 the Rose for th^ 

 title in many ways 

 for while in bloon- 

 it is without ques ' 

 tion the most glor- 

 ious object in the 

 L'avden. Once Pec- h 

 nies are planted 

 they last for a 

 lifetime. They 



stand the severest 

 w i n t e rs Avithout 

 Mie slightest pro- 

 • . tion. Especially 

 iine for single spe- 

 rimens and ceme- 

 tery planting. Af- 

 ter blooming their 

 charm lies in the 

 beauty of the fo- 

 liage, for even 

 the extreme and well wor- 



when not in bloom the Peony plant is decorative 

 thy of a prominent place in the garden.
