Dingee Herbaceous Paeonies 



The wonderful improvement made during recent years in these old-fashioned hardy plants have brought them into 

 renewed popularity. The gorgeous flowers, which rival the finest roses in size and color, are produced in great abundance 

 Paeonies, after once being planted, require httle care and attention, thrive almost anywhere, and are absolutely hardy 

 everywhere. They do best in a good rich soil, and an open, sunny position, but this is not absolutely necessary. Dur- 

 ing the growing season, they like an occasional, liberal supply of water. They are not troubled with insect pests, and, 

 after once becoming firmly established, will take care of themselves, increasing in size and beauty every year. Plant 

 as soon as ground is fit to dig. We offer strong, field-grown roots, with three and four good, strong eyes. Prices include 



postage.
