Dingee Hardy Peonies 



Of all the flowers in the Hardy Garden the 

 Peony is easily recognized as the queen — in fact, 

 it vies with the Rose for the title in many ways, for 

 while in bloom it is without question the most 

 glorious object in the garden. Once 

 Peonies are planted they last for a 

 life time. They stand the severest ^ 



winters without the slightest protec- 

 tion. Especially line for single speci- 

 mens and cemetery planting. After 

 blooming their charm lies in the beauty 

 of the foliage, for even when not in 

 bloom the Peony plant is decorative 

 in the extreme and well worthy of a 

 prominent place in the garden. 



We offer only the cream of the 

 many hundred varieties and are 

 responsible for the introduction 

 of many of the new varieties.
