THE PEONY 



The Peony of today challenges the rose to the 

 title "Queen of Flowers," and it is without doubt 

 the most popular of all hardy plants. The plants 

 here offered are from one of the largest Peony 

 gardens in the country, grown by experts and 

 selected with utmost care as to quality and genu- 

 ineness of stock from their list of over 200 va- 

 rieties. Peonies do best in a rich garden soil 

 with a sunny exposure. In planting have the 

 buds two or three inches below the surface, and 

 do not let manure come in contact with the 

 roots. All sent postpaid.
