MOON'S PERENNIA 



Paeonies 



These old-time favorites are being planted more 

 than ever before. They are admired in open borders, 

 beds along walks and drives; well suited to inter- 

 mingle among either shrubs or perennials. Their 

 great flowers are perfectly formed and some are 

 fragrant and as delicately colored as a rose. Paeonies 

 grow best in rich, deep soils, and sunny positions. 

 They flower showingly at the close of May and in 

 June. 



Prices of Paeonies, except where noted, are 

 35 cents each; $3.00 per 10.
