Perfect Pseonies. 



Tlie Herbaceous Pseonies have always held an important 

 place among hardy plants, and with the wonderful improve- 

 ments made during recent years have established themselves 

 among the leaders for popular favor. 



Their requirements are so simple — a good, rich, deep soil 

 and an open, sunny position, if possible — which, however, is 

 not absolutely necessary, as they thrive almost equally as 

 \A ell in a partially 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 produce during their flowering season a 

 gorgeous effect nol equalled by any other flower. 



They are perfectl)' hardy, requiring no protection whatever 

 even in the most severe climate, are not troubled with insect 

 pests or disease of any kmd, and once planted take caire of 

 themselves, increasing in beauty each year. '
