PEONIES. 
These flowers are certainly among the 
most showy of the hardy plants. They are 
of easy culture and rapid growth, and fur- 
nisha wonderful amount of bloom during the 
summer months. The blossoms arc of an 
immense size, exceedingly fragrant, and 
when cut and placed in water, fill a room 
with their delicate perfume. 
Our Single Varieties are the finest that 
we could select from a large collection, listed 
by an English grower who makes a specialty 
of both double and single Peonies. 
Our Double Peonies are not common 
varieties, but are selected for their beauti- 
ful, distinct colors and their extraordinary 
size and profusion of bloom, the plants being 
literallj- covered with blossoms.
