PLOT OF SINGLE PEONIES 
Peonies 
The Peonies are among the noblest and most magnificent of our herbaceous plants. They are the “Queen 
of Spring Flowers,” and are well adapted for massing in beds, and particularly valuable for planting in groups 
throughout the perennial or shrubbery border, where their brilliant hues add beauty to the entire surroundings. 
Their requirements are so simple—a good, rich, deep ^nil; they are perfectly hardy, and produce their wealth of 
flowers in great abundance. Roots can be shipped from early April until the end of May; and from August until 
freezing time, in the fall. Purchaser to pay shipping charges.
