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 protection. Es- 

 pecially fine for single specimens 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. 

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

 but don't produce the blooms.
