FINEST uersaccous PEONIES, PRIMULA, ETC. 
Peonies, “Aristocrats of the Flowers”’ pow 
STANDARDIZED ACCORDING TO THE AUTHORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEONY SOCIETY BS 
Peonies today show a wonderful improvement over former years. There is r 3 
something of true magnificence about this aristocrat of the flowers, and in large a> 
mass planting they produce an effect that you remember—great, gorgeous blossoms, x : a a * 
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 unsurpassed. Bloom several weeks in the spring. Height, 2 to 3 feet. 
CuLTURE.—They will grow anywhere, reasonably speaking, though they 
do best in rich, deep soil and a sunny position, but thrive in partial shade. 
Plenty of water during the growing season is an added stimulus. They -@ Ser > 
require no protection and are not troubled with insects or disease. <a
