DREER'S 



Perfect Pseonies. 



The Herbaceuus Paeonies have always held an im- 

 poi lant place among hardy plants, and with the wonderfui' 

 improvements 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 necessaiy, as they thrive almost equally as 

 well in a partially shaded position, and a liberal sup))ly 

 of water during iheir grownig season, being sufficient to- 

 give an abundance and wealth of flowers which rival the 

 finest Roses in coloring, and produce during their flow- 

 ering season a gorgeous effect not equalled by any other 

 flower. They are perfectly hardy, requiring no protec- 

 tion whatever even in the most severe climate, are not 

 troubled with insect pests or disease of any kind, and- 

 once planted take care of themselves, increasing iii' 

 beauty each year.
