GLADIOLUS 
Among the summer flowering bulbs the Gladiolus has 
but few, if any. equals. They are ea.sily satisfied, both as 
to soil and location, doing equally well in beds, rows or in- 
terspersed among shrubbery. Good cultivation is desired, 
but heavy fertilizing should be avoided.

PEONIES 
Fine, hardy plants, rivaling the rose in per- 
fection of bloom, color and frangrance. 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 gen- 
erally able to care for itself, but it does not fol- 
low 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 paeonies 
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 varieties embrace a wide range 
of color and will be found very satisfactory.
