Hakdy Herbaceous Peonies. 



DREER'S 



Perfect Pseonies. 



The Herbaceous Pseonies have always held an im- 

 portant place among liardy ]ilants, and with the won- 

 derful improvements made during recent years have 

 established themselves among the leaders for popular 

 favor. Their requirements are so sim])le — a good, rich, 

 deep soil and an open, junny position, if possible — 

 which, however, is not absolutely necessary, as they 

 thrive almost equally as well in a partly shaded posi- 

 tion, and a liberal supply of water during their grow- 

 ing sea-.on, being sufficient to give an abundance and 

 wealth of flowers which rival the finest roses in color- 

 ing, and produce during their flowering season a gor- 

 geous effect not equalled by any ether flower. 1 hey 

 are perfectly hardy, requiring no protection whatever 

 even in the most severe climate, are not troubled with 

 insect pesls or disease of any kind, and once planted 

 take care of themselves, increasing in beauty each year.
