 bloom and adaptability to almost any situation or soil,

 ing plants. For 1909 we offer an extended list of greatly 

 iniproved varieties, the beauty of whose flowers will 

 prove a revelation to those unacquainted with this 

 lovely perennial. Being perfectly hardy, once planted, 

 they improve and multiply in vigor and beauty each 

 successive year, and produce in gorgeous profusion great 

 showy heads or panicles of bloom from early spring until 

 checked by frost. Plant as soon as ground can be dug.

Dingee Herbaceous Paeonies 



The wonderful improvement m^ade during recent years in these old-fashioned hardy plants have brought them into 

 renewed popularity. The gorgeous flowers, which rival the finest roses in size and color, are produced in great abundance 

 Paeonies, after once being planted, require little care and'attention, thrive almost anywhere, and are absolutely hardy 

 everywhere. They do best in a good rich soil, and an open, sunny position, but this is not absolutely necessary. Dur- 

 ing the growing season, they like an occasional, liberal supply of water. They are not troubled with insect pests, and, 

 after once becoming firmly established, will take care of themselves, increasing in size and beauty every year._ Plant 

 as soon as ground is fit to dig. We offer strong, field-grown roots, with three and four good, strong eyes. Prices include 



postage.
