Double Herbaceous Paeonies— Continued 
abundance and wealth of flowers which rival the finest roses in coloring and 
fragrance and produce during their flowering season a gorgeous effect not 
equalled by any other flower. 
We have during the past season feasted our eyes on the g.owlng splen- 
dors and inhaled the delicate fragrance of many varieties in full bloom. 
Why these beautiful and fragrant flowers have been neglected so long 
is owing to the fact that people are not acquainted with them. You need only 
to see them and you acknowledge their excellence. They are the flowers that 
never fail; no disease affects them; they are hardy In the frozen north and 
in the sunny south, requiring no protection whatever; and once planted take 
care of themselves, Increasing in size and beauty each year. Truly a p. ant 
lor everybody. 
Plant In the fall, if possible. or very early ln the spr | n g. j t is cruel t0 
send for them when leaved out. Plant in September, and in November they 
will have rootlets as long as your finger. Have the ground rich and spade 
It two feet deep. Plant your roots with the crowns about three inches below 
the surface, and keep out the weeds, and you can let them stand five years. 
We take pleasure in being ab.e to offer our friends the following very choice 
list at reasonable prices; they are strong divided roots, and few of them will 
fail to bloom the first season after setting.

rorgotten. Will make special prices on collections for hedges. Please write
