PEONIES 
These  old-time  favorites  are  being  planted  more 
than  ever  before.  Their  great  flowers  are  perfectly 
formed  and  are  often  as  fragrant  and  as  delicately 
colored  as  a  rose.  They  grow  best  in  a  rich,  deep 
soil  and  sunny  position,  but  will  thrive  in  partially 
shaded  places.  They  are  admired  in  all  herbaceous 
borders  for  planting  among  shrubbery,  and  are 
valued  in  beds  or  groups  by  themselves.  Grow 
about  2  feet  high,  and  flower  in  May  and  June.
