PEONIES 



ARISTOCRAT OF THE FLOWERS" 



Peonies to-day show a wonderful improve- 

 ment over former years. There is some- 

 thing of true magnificence about this aristocrat 

 of the flowers, and in large mass plantings they 

 produce an effect that you remember — great, 

 gorgeous blossoms, daintily dyed with the most 

 exquisite shades, from white to the deepest reds. 

 They are deliciously fragrant and for effective 

 decorations, especially on a large scale, are 

 totally unsurpassed. Bloom several weeks in 

 the Spring. Height, two to three feet. 



CULTURE — They will grow anywhere, reasonably 

 speaking — though they do best in rich, deep soil and a 

 sunny position, they thrive equally well in partial shade. 

 Plenty of water during the growing season is an added 

 stimulus. They are perfectly hardy, require no protec- 

 tion and are not troubled with insects or disease.
