HERBACEOUS PEONIES. 
Within the past ten years this splendid section of hardy herba- 
ceous flowering plants have been brought into very prominent notice 
because of the general improvement in varieties of comparatively 
recent origin. In these newer sorts, we have not only immense blooms 
reaching in some specimens seven or eight inches in diameter, but 
the range of color is also so varied that almost every tint of pink, 
white, red, crimson and even some shades of yellow is comprised in 
the list. Plant vigor has also been improved and strong stems three 
feet long are not at all uncommon in some of the varieties. There is 
also an element of practical, permanent value in the Peony; that is 
the plants once purchased and planted in suitable soil continue to 
increase in size and profusion of bloom for years with very little fur- 
ther attention; while they pay an annual dividend in the way of mag- 
nificent blooms that are unsurpassed for decorative purposes.
