Peony • Herbaceous 
Class 
Peonies should be planted in 
good, rich, deep, moist soil, after 
which they require less attention than 
any other class of flowering plants. 
They are perfectly hardy and their 
remarkable freedom from disease 
and insects makes them most desir- 
able. Some of the varieties are of 
enormous size, perfectly double and 
deliciously fragrant. In color the 
Peony rivals the rose in beauty, 
ranging from pure white to darkest 
red, and the shades of pink are truly 
magnificent. Peonies thrive in all 
locations whether in the broad sunlight or in partial 
shade. Our blocks attract hundreds of visitors every 
year.
