A Qump of Paeonies Reproduced from a Photograph 



The wonderful improvements 

 i;ide during recent years 

 :, these old-fashioned hardy 

 iants have made them im- 

 jH^nselj' popular. After they 

 ure onTe planted they require 

 little attention and care, thriv- 

 ing- almost anywhere, and 

 are absolutely hardy every- 

 where, requiring no protection 

 whatever even in the most 

 severe climate. They do best 

 in good, rich soil and an open 

 sunny position, but this is not 

 absolutely necessary. They 

 like a liberal supply of water 

 during their growing season. 

 ihe abundance and wealth of 

 iiie gorgeous flowers which 

 liiey produce are sufficient to 

 satisfy the most enthusiastic, 

 their flowers rivaling the 

 finest roses in size, form 

 and coloring. They are not 

 troubled wnth insect pests 

 • H' disease of any kind, and 

 i>nce planted they take care 

 of themselves, increasing in 

 b»-auty each j-ear. We offer 

 ihe choicest and most distinct 

 varieties.
