SOOUBLE * HERBACEOUS + PEONIES. 
We herewith offer some of the newest and most beautiful Chinese Herbaceous Peonies in cultivation. These noble plants are exceedingly effective; their 
profusion and duration of bloom, combined with handsome massive foliage, accommodating habit and easy culture, render them one of the most popular 
hardy plants grown for lawn and garden decoration, or for mingling with shrubs or herbaceous plants in borders and wild gardens. The flowers are large, 
massive, perfect in outline and most beautiful. 
As cutting material the Chinese Peony can scarcely be surpassed, and no flowers are more effective when loosely arranged in a large vase. 
HENDERSON’S COLLECTIONS OF PEONIES. 
The collections of Peonies herewith offered have been studiously chosen from hundreds of varieties to supply in each set the widest range of coloring 
from white through shades of pink, buff, rose, etc., to the deepest crimson and also include early, mid-season and late flowering sorts to maintain an unbroken 
succession of bloom for weeks. Other considerations have been length and strength of supporting stems, freedom of bloom, healthy, vigorous growth, and of 
course beauty of coloring, form, size, doubleness and durable substance of flowers.
