cumference than a penny, and even smalle.'. For a succession of bloom I recommend

autumn.

wide range of color.

"I write to tell you of my very flattering suc- 
cess with the Dahlias I purchased of you. Since 
August the 1st they have been a blaze of color. 
Stock all grew and are among my finest vari- 
eties." O. H. BROWN. 
PAEONIES 
Fine, hardy plants, rivaling the rose in 
perfection of bloom, 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 display 
planted in beds, on the lawn, or planted 
singly along a walk or herbaceous border. 
The paeony is perfectly hardy and 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 grass and they will amply 
repay all the care given. A word to begin- 
ners: Don't be alarmed when you see your 
newly set paeonies begin to turn brown in 
July and appear to be quite dead by August. 
This is natural and they will be on hand 
again in the spring. 
The following varieties embrace a wide 
range of color and will be found very satis- 
factory. 
Prices, except where noted, 25c each; 
$2.50 per doz.
