PEONIES 
That Herbaceous Peonies are as fine and ef- 
fective in their way as Rhododendrons or Roses 
is now being generally recognized. They arc 
hardier and more easily cultivated than either 
of their rivals, and are being used in the same 
w'ay for bold display of color. Their flowe'rs 
are very lasting; some of them are finely fin- 
ished and splendidly colored. Plant in deep, 
rich, W’ell prepared soil, covering the buds but 
an inch or tw'o. Do not expect too much of 
them the first year, as they are a little slow 
in establishing themselves.
