Dreer’s Fragrant Peonies 
The wonderfully improved Peonies introduced in recent years are 
truly the “‘Queen of Spring Flowers,” and are well adapted for mas- 
sing in beds, and particularly valuable for planting in groups 
throughout the perennial or shrubbery border, where their bril- 
liant hues add attraction to all around. Their requirements 
are so simple—a good rich, deep soil, and an open sunny posi- 
tion 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 sufficient 
to give an abundance and wealth of flowers, which rival the 
finest Roses in coloring and fragrance, and preduce during their 
flowering season a gorgeous effect not equaled 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.
