Dingee Peonies 



The wonderful improvements made during 

 recent years in these old-fashioned hardy 

 plants have brought them into renewed popu- 

 larity. The gorgeous flowers, which rival the 

 finest rose in size and color, are produced in 

 great abundance. From experience we urgently 

 recommend fall planting of Peonies. They will 

 not be readv until October 15. 



Peonies, after once being planted, require 

 little attention and care, thrive almost any- 

 where, and are absolutely hardy everywhere. 

 They do best in good, rich .soil and an open, 

 sunny position, but this is not absolutely 

 neces.sary. During the growing season they 

 like an occasional, liberal supply of water. 

 They are not troubled with in.sect pests and, 

 after once becoming firmly established, will 

 take care of themselves, increasing in size and 

 beauty every year.
