DouBLE HERBACEOUS PEONY 
This is the oldest and still one of the most popular sorts. 
earliest to bloom, producing freely brilliant, glowing deep crimson double 
flowers. 
Dreer’s Fragrant Peonies 
The wonderfully improved Peonies introduced in recent years are 
truly the ‘‘Queen of Spring Flowers,” and are well adapted for massing 
in beds, and particularly 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, how- 
ever, 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 abund- 
ance and wealth of flowers, which rival the finest Roses in color- 
ing and fragrance, and produce during their flowering season a 
gorgeous effect not equalled by any other flower. They are 
perfectly hardy, 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.
