SPLENDID uerbacceous PEONIES. 
“ARISTOCRAT OF THE FLOWERS” | eH 
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.
