Peonies Growing in Our Nurseries. “The King of Spring Flowers" 
PEONIES 
Rich in color, attractive in form, and beautiful in foliage 
the Peony very appropriately has been called “King of 
Spring Flowers.” Equaling in beauty, coloring and delicacy 
the finest roses, many of the fragrant varieties have the true 
rose odor. 
Peonies are remarkably easy to grow, perfectly hardy, 
free from the many diseases and insects that attack so 
many plants, and will bloom year after year without re 
newal.

Peonies can be planted in every conceivable place —as 
single specimens, in large or small beds, against shrubs or in 
long rows bordering walks and drives. Grandest effects 
are always produced by mass plantings. 
The Peonies we list are all our own growing, are true to 
name, and have been tried out in our nurseries at least 
three years. We supply only good, vigorous roots with 
3 to 5 strong eyes, which insures power to grow.

PEONY CULTURE 
An abundance of plant food and moisture are es¬ 
sential to success with Peonies as they are strong 
growers and produce many enormous flowers. As the 
plants grow and bloom top dress with bone meal be¬ 
tween, but not on, the plants. 
Plant 3 }4-4 ft. apart and cover the crown bud under 
two or three inches of soil. Plant early to obtain best 
results. Mulch in the Fall. 
Prices given on Peonies are for strong 3 to 5 eye blooming-size roots.
