eonies 
Fine, hardy plants, rivaling the rose in perfection 
of bloom, (olor and fragrance. They are at home 
in any climate or soil, but thrive best in a deep, 
rich, well-drained loam. TViey make a gorgeous dis- 
play planted in beds, on the lawn, or planted singly 
along a walk or herbaceous border. The Peony is 
perfectly hardy and generally able to carfe for Itself, 
but it doe^ 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 re- 
pa.v all the tare given. A word to beginners: Don't 
be" alarmed when you see your newly set Paeonles 
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.
