Dreer's Fragrant Peonies 



^^^^ The wonderfully improved Peonies introduced in recent 



™ ^ years are truly the "Queen of Spring Flowers," and are 



A well adapted for massing in beds, and particularly 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 sufificient to 

 give an abundance and wealth of flowers, which rival the 

 finest Roses in coloring and fragrance, and produce dur- 

 ing their flowering season a gorgeous efifect 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.
