Dreer's Fragrant Peonies 



Ihe wonderfully improved Peonies introduced in recent 

 years are truly the "Queen of Spring Flowers," and are 

 well adapted for massing in beds, and particularly valuable 

 for planting in groups throughout the perennial or shrubbery 

 border, where their brilliant hues add attraction to all 

 around. Their requirements are so simple — a good, rich, 

 deep soil, and an open sunny position; which, however, 

 is not absolutely necessary, as they thrive almost equally 

 as well in a partly shaded position, and a liberal supply of 

 water during their growing season being sufficient to give 

 an abundance and wealth of flowers, which rival ihe 

 finest Roses in coloring and fragrance, and produce during 

 their flowering season a gorgeous eff'ect not equalled by 

 any other flower. They are perfectly hardy, requiring no 

 protection whatever, even in the most severe climate, and 

 once planted increase in beauty each year. 



An important point to observe 1n the planting of Her- 

 baceous Peonies is not to plant too deep. The roots should l)e 

 placed so that the crowns are covered witli two inches of soil.
