in Landscape Value the Modern Peony 
Stands Supreme 
Modern Peonies furnish the Garden with color just as the Tulips are gone and when few plants are 
at their best. 
As a specimen; in beds; in groups in the border, amongst shrubs and evergreens, or be it in the cut 
flower garden, modern Peonies always are a pleasure to the eye. Their fine constitution as a plant, 
their magnificence of bloom, their richness of foliage, their freedom from insect pests and diseases 
make them rank high amongst the finest plant material available to North American Gardens. 
Although nearly every Peony variety lends itself for landscape effect, we especially draw your 
attention to the following sorts.
