SELECT HERBACEOUS PAONIES 
A noble flower, almost rivaling the rose in brilliancy of color and perfection of bloom, and the 
Rhododendron in stately growth. The first point in’their favor is hardiness. It may be truly said of 
them that they are “hardy as an oak.” In the severest climate the plants require no other protection 
than that which they afford themselves. Then their vigorous habit and healthy growth, freedom from 
all diseases and insects are important arguments in favor of their cultivation. Each succeeding year 
adds to their size and beauty. ‘The foliage is rich and glossy and of a beautiful deep green color, thus 
rendering the plants very ornamental even when out of flower. The newer varieties produce very large, 
handsome, regularly formed cupped blooms resembling large roses. No other flower is so well adapted 
for large, showy bouquets. The Pzeony may be planted either singly on the lawn or in borders. Where 
the lawn is extensive a large bed makes a grand show, surpassing a bed of Rhododendrons. It is really 
a flower for the million. They blossom early in June. Our collection has been made with great care and. 
includes the best and most distinct varieties.
