HERBACEOUS PEONIES 



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 its favor is hardiness. It 

 may be truly said to be "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 foli- 

 age 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 Peony 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. It flowers early in June. Our col- 

 lection has been made with great care and includes the best 

 and most distinct varieties.
