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.
