PEONIES 
These old-time favorites are more than ever claim- 
ing the front rank of popularity. The new varieties 
introduced in recent years with their great variety of 
exquisite colors and such perfect flowers possess a strik- 
ing individuality, and planted singly or in groups pro- 
duce a gorgeous effect. Their only requirements are 
a good rich soil and a sunny position, which however, 
is not absolutely necessary as they thrive almost equally 
well in a partly shaded position. A liberal supply of 
water during the growing season being sufficient to give 
an abundance and wealth of flowers, producing a gor- 
geous effect not equalled by any other flower.
