Choice Garden Peonies 



Peonies have become one of the most important garden flowers, ranking with the rose and iris in the attention of skilled gardeners. 

 The new varieties are a far cry from the old-time dooryard sorts, displaying marvelous perfection of form and a variety of tints and 

 colorings hitherto undreamed of. No flower is better for spectacular garden display or for making a tremendous show of cut bloom. 

 They may be planted in beds or at the edge of shrubbery borders, and are little or no trouble when once established, being perfectly 

 hardy, requiring no winter protection whatever, and if manure is not used near them, they will not suffer from attacks of disease or 

 insects. Plant the roots so that the eyes are about 2 in^-hes beneath the surface; if planted deeper they may fail to bloom.
