The wonderfully improved Peonies introduced in 
recent years are truly the “Queen of Spring Flowers,” 
and are well adapted for massing in beds, and particu- 
larly 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 the finest 
Roses in coloring and fragrance, and produce during 
their flowering season a gorgeous effect 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 in the planting 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.
