WHOLESALE LIST 



Dreer's Fragrant Peonies 



Double Herbaceotis Peony 



The wonderfully improved Peonies intro- 

 duced 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 peren- 

 nial or shrubbery border, where their bril- 

 liant hues add attraction to all around. Their 

 requirements are so simple — a good rich, deep 

 5oil, and an open sunny position which, how- 

 aver, is not absolutely necessary, as they 

 thrive almost equally as well in a partly 

 shaded position, and a liberal supply of water 

 iuring their growing season being sufficient 

 CO give an abundance and wealth of flowers, 

 vhich rival the finest Roses in coloring and 

 ragrance; and produce during their flower- 

 ng season a gorgeous effect not equaled by 

 my other flower. They are perfectly hardy, 

 requiring no protection whatever, even in the 

 nost severe climate, and once planted in- 

 crease in beauty each year. 



An important point to observe in the plant- 

 ng of Herbaceous Peonies is not to plant too 

 deep. The roots should be placed so that 

 the crowns are covered with two inches of 

 soil.
