The wonderfully improved Peonies introduced in 

 recent years are truly the "Queen of Spring Flowers," 

 and are well adapted for massing in beds, and par- 

 ticularly valuable for planting in groups throughout 

 the perennial or shrubbery border, where their bril- 

 liant hues add attraction to all around. Their re- 

 quirements are so simple — a good, rich, deep soil, and 

 an open, sunny position; which, however, is not ab- 

 solutely 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 in- 

 crease 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.
