PAEONIES 



Ready in October. 



The old fashioned double PsBonies are too well known to require description. 

 Their popularity is due to their great merits— their easy culture, the handsome 

 , appearance of the plant, and the bril- 



liant and striking effect of their massive, 

 finely formed, richly colored flowers. 

 Among hardy herbaceous perennials, 

 the Chinese PaH)nies rank about first 

 for lawn, or flower-border, or shrubbery 

 decoration. They are all hardy.
