Peonies 
The herbaceous peonies have long been great favorites among hardy plants, but 
the wonderful improvements wrought by the plant breeder in recent years make them 
far more popular than ever. Many of the improved varieties rival the finest roses in 
fragrance and coloring, besides blooming much earlier and being much larger. 
Peonies do best in good, rich, deep soil and a sunny situation, although they do 
well in partial shade. They are hardy in the far north and west, requiring no protec- 
tion. Once planted and started they need but little care. The blooms are often small 
or even single the first year after planting but increase in size and beauty tiech year. 
They should be planted in September or October if possible, but may be planted In the 
spring. Plant about three inches below tne surface in deeply worked, rich soil. If 
planted in the spring thev may not bloom until the next spring. We offer the follow- 
ing list of choice varieties at reasonable prices. If wanted in large quantities, ploase
