Special Mention 
To anyone desiring to plant Hardy Herbaceous Flow- 
ering plants, I would call especial attention to my block of 
named Paeonies, as I have now a very nice stock and 
assortment of choice varieties, from the earliest to the lat- 
est, so that the season of continuous bloom last year was 
from the middle of May until about July 1st — a fine show 
indeed of plants that are becoming more popular every year.
