Pall orders for Peonies cannot be filled before October 20th. 
Pield of Peonies In Full Bloom 
Pine, hardy plants, rivaling the rose 
in perfection of bloom, color and frag- 
rance. Tliey are at home in any climate 
or soil, but thrive best in a deep, rich, 
well-drained loam. They mal<e a gor- 
geous display planted in beds, on the 
lawn, or planted singly along the walk 
or herbaceous border. The Peony is 
perfectly hardy and generally able to 
care for itself, but it does not follow 
that they enjoy neglect. Give them 
ample room in wliich 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 ap- 
pear to be quite dead in 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. 
Prices, except when noted, 
3Sc each; $4.00 per doz. 
Not prepaid beyond the third Zone 
(.SOO miles).
