Peonies, Herbaceous 
Of first importance among garden plants that are prized for their flowers are the 
Herbaceous Peonies. These beautiful and stately plants are invaluable for many rea- 
sons, chief among them being the beauty and grace of their flowers ; these are large and 
saucer-shaped, usually measuring 4 to 6 inches across, and come in white and all 
shades of pink, from the most delicate to dark maroon. The double varieties are more 
commonly known, perhaps, in the old gardens, but are not the more beautiful for that 
reason ; and for beauty and purity there are none to equal the single forms, which in 
most cases are brightened by a yellow center. The dark green leaves, which are i)4 to 
2 feet long, form a goodly clump, which, after the flowering season has passed, keep 
their rich cool green throughout the season. There are many new hybrids, of which 
we offer the following list, carefully selected as to color : 
Prices, except where otherwise noted, 35 cts. each, $3 for 10, $20 per 100; extra heavy 
plants, 60 cts. each, $5 for 10
