'eonies 
Fine, hardy plants, rivaling the rose 
in perfection of bloom, color and frag- 
rance. They are at home in any climate 
or soil, hut thrive best in a deep, rich, 
well-drained loam. They make a gor- 
geous display planted in beds, on the 
lawn, or planted singly along the walk 
or herbaceous border. The Peony i.s per- 
fectly 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 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 
natural. They will be on hand again in 
the spring. 
The following varietie-'* embrace a 
wide range of color and will be found 
very satisfactory:

No flower garden is complete without a collection ol: 
these most valuable plants. 'With a little care tiiey 
may be selected so as to give a continuous supply of 
flowers from early spring to autumn frosts. They re- 
i|uire far less care than the annuals of bedding plants, 
and may be used to good advantage to fill odd corners. 
along fences, and to screen un.siglitly objects. They are 
perfectly hardy, and yet for winter they should have a 
slight covering of leaves or other litter. Care should 
also be taken to prevent pools of water standing on 
them during winter. I will gladly make selections for 
those not familiar with hardy plants if they will In- 
form me as to space to bo filled.
