HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 



P^EONIES. 



HERBACEOUS P^EONIES. 



The Herbaceous Poeonies are exceedingly hardy, and will 

 succeed in any ordinary garden soil, well enriched with good 

 manure. During the summer months mulching will be bene- 

 ficial to the roots, especially on dry soils. We offer a splendid 

 assortment in twelve distinct varieties, embracing all the leading 

 shades, white, pink, crimson, rose, purple, etc., etc. 



Strong plants, 30 cts. each ; §3. 00 per dozen. 



TREE PEONIES. 



This plant, instead of dying down to the ground every win- 

 ter, like the herbaceous variety, grows into a hard-wooded 

 shrub. The flowers are the same in form as the common 

 variety, but of a light pink or blush color. As the plants attain 

 age they make very showy bushes and are very desirable for 

 planting among shrubbery.
