LIST OF CHOICE PAEONIES FOR 1918.

PAEONIES 



CHOICE HERBACEOUS VARIETIES. 



No class of plants is more easily grown than 



Paeonies and few so generously repay the care 



given them. They are perfectly hardy and 



thrive in almost any soil, but any extra attention 



given them will be amply repaid; deeply cultivated and well enriched loam suits them best. In shady 



places, where few plants will succeed, Paeonies will grow luxuriantly. They thrive equally well in 



sunny situations, and planted in front of shrubbery or on either side of walks they are very effective.
