7 Good Reasons 



There are at least 7 good reasons for the popu- 

 larity of the herbaceous Peony: 



1. It is easy to grow; anybody can raise glorious 



peonies with less trouble than it takes to grow 

 good roses. 



2. A peony well established is as permanent a fea- 



ture in the garden as is desirable in a herba- 

 ceous plant. 



3. Peonies are perfectly hardy wherever apples 



can be grown, passing through the most se- 

 vere winters without injury. 



4. The blooms are large, showy, of various forms, 



and in any shade of color from white to pur- 

 ple, 



5. Almost all varieties are fragrant. 



6. It is practically free from disease and insects. 



No spraying or dusting or hand picking of 

 worms is necessary. 



7. It is equally successful as a cut flower and for 



artistic landscape effects. — Garden Magazine,
