Peony Planting. 
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 soil; 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. 
SINGLE PEONIES 
Single Peonies are becoming more and 
more popular, many people considering 
them more artistic and beautiful than 
the double ones. They are very free 
flowering, and as cut-flowers they are 
very effective. Especially valuable for 
landscape effects. I have an extra fine 
asortment. 35 cents each; $3.50 per 
dozen.
