Herbaceous Peonies 
Supremely gorgeous and of life-long permanence, Peonies form the basis of every well- 
considered flower-garden. As individual clumps or in borders in front of shrubbery they 
are magnificent in flower and handsome in foliage throughout the season. They last a 
week or more when cut. Plant them not too deeply—2 inches of earth over the buds is 
sufficient. We offer 2-year-oId clumps with 3 to 5 eyes, in three colors—Double White, 
Double Pink, and also Double Red, at 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 
A planting of Peonies affords both beautiful color and delightful fragrance 
Hardy Phlox 
Phloxes are among the very showiest and most valuable of all hardy plants. They deserve 
a prominent position in every garden of hardy flowers, since they thrive in most soils; however, 
a rich loam is most desirable. When this does not exist, the flower bed should be deeply spaded 
and manured previous to planting. By growing a complete collection of Phlox a continuity 
of bloom can be had from early June until late fall. Plant at least five of each variety to get the 
effective coloring of mass planting. Ht. 2 to 3 ft. We cannot accept orders for less than 3 
plants of any variety. Any of the following varieties, 90 cts. for 3; $2.50 per doz.; $18 per 100.
