Dingee Hardy Peonies 



There is a constantly increasing demand for the ol 

 favorites in the gardens of long ago, and more and mor 

 the flower-lovers of our land are abandoning the use o 

 annual flowers and are filling their gardens with hard 

 perennials — the kind that live from year to year, increas 

 ing in size and beauty until they fairly run riot with thei 

 wealth of bloom and glory of form and color. From th 

 practical standpoint, these "old-fashioned" flowers art 

 ideal either for him whose home is the midst of a vas 

 estate or him whose "garden" consists of but a few fee, 

 of soil in a city back yard. 



Of all the flowers in the Hardy Garden the Peony i 

 easily recognized as the Queen — in fact it vies with th«i 

 Rose for the title in many ways, for while in bloom it i 

 without question the most glorious object in the garden 

 Once Peonies are planted they last for a lifetime. They 

 stand the severest winters without the slightest protec 

 tion. Especially fine for single specimens and cemetery 

 planting. After blooming their charm lies in the beauty 

 of its foliage, for even when not in bloom the Peony plam 

 is decorative in the extreme and well worthy of a promi 

 nent place in the garden. 



We offer only the cream of the many hundred varieties.! 

 Don't buy the cheap kinds. They require just as much 

 care, but don't produce the blooms.
