PEONIES 



READY IN OCTOBER 



The old-fashioned double Peonies 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 brilliant and striking effect of 

 their massive, finely formed, riclily colored flowers. Among hardy herbaceous perennials, the Chinese Peonies 

 rank about first for lawn or flower-border or shrubbery decoration. They are all hardy.
