'eonies 
Fine, hardy plants, rivaling the rose in perfection of 
Idoom, color and fragrance. They are at home in any 
climate or soil, but thrive best in a deep. rich, well- 
drained loam. They make a gorgeous displa.v planted 
in beds, on the lawn, or planted singly along the walk 
or herbaceous border. The Peon.\' is pei-fectly liardy 
• ind generally able to care for itself, but it does not 
follow that they enjoy neglect. Give them ample room 
in which to grow, keeping them free from weeds and 
srasi;, and they will amply repay all the care given. A 
word to beginners: Don't be alarmed when you see 
your newly set Peonies begin to turn brown in .July 
and appear to be quite dead by August. This is na- 
iiiral. They will be on hand again in the spring. 
The following varieties embrace a wide range of color
