The wonderfully improved Peonies introduced in 

 recent years are tnily the "Queen of Spring Flowers," 

 and are well adapted for massing in feeds, and particu- 

 larly valuable for planting 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 coloring and fragrance, and produce during 

 their flowering season a gorgeous effect not equalled by 

 any other flower. They are perfectly hard5', requiring 

 no protection whatever, even in the most severe climate, 

 and once planted increase in beauty each year. 



An important point to observe in the planting of 

 Herbaceous Peonies is not to plant too deep. The roots 

 should be placed so that the crowns are covered with 

 two inches of soil.
