Dreer’s Fragrant Peonies 
The wonderfully improved Peonies introduced in recent: 
years are truly the ‘‘Queen of Spring Flowers,’’ and are well! 
adapted for massing in beds, and particularly valuable for plant- 
ing in groups throughout the perennial or shrubbery border, 
where their brilliant hues add attraction to all around. Their’ 
requirements are so simple—a good, rich, deep soil, and) 
an open, sunny position; which, however, is not absolutely 
necessary, as they thrive almost equally as well in a partly 
shaded position, and a liberal supply of water during 
their growing season being sufficient to give an abundance 
and wealth of flowers, which rival the finest Roses in color- 
ing and fragrance, and produce during their flowering sea- 
son & gorgeous effect not equalled by any other flower. They 
* are perfectly hardy, requiring no protection whatever, even 
in the most severe climate, and once planted increase in 
beauty each year. 
Peonies is not to plant too deep. The roots should be placed so 
that the crowns are covered with two inches of soil.
