HERBACEOUS PEONIES. 



It is surprising that so noble a flower, almost rivaling the Rose iu brilliancy of color and perfection of bloom, and the 

 Rhododendron in stately growth, should be so neglected. Amateurs seem to have lost sight of the many improved varieties 

 introduced within the last few years, and our finest gardens, perfect in other respects, are singularly deficient in 

 specimens of the newer kinds. The first point in their favor is hardiness. It may be truly said of them that the.v 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 m favor of 

 their cultivation. Growers of roses know well that their flowers are obtained by great vigilance and care. Not so with 

 the Pseony, which, when once planted, all is done. 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 Pseony 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. 



We have a grand collection, descriptions of which will be found in the General Catalogue. 50c. each. $4.00 per doz.
