PAEONIAS. 



For brilliant display of bloom during the months of May and June there is 



nothing that will equal the Paeonias, 

 many of which are so vivid in color 

 and profuse in bloom that they almost 

 dazzle the eye. They are mag-nifieent 

 hardy plants, constantly growing in 

 favor, and in no class of plants has 

 there been gi-eater improvement made 

 of recent yeai's than in this. We now 

 have them in the loveliest shades of 

 color imaginable, and of immense 

 size, most intensely double and pro- 

 duced in a profusion that is wonderful 

 to behold. A bed of choice Paeonies 

 is an investment th^it will increase in 

 beauty and value year by year, and 

 always give unbotmded delig'ht.
