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 shrub¬ 
bery 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 un¬ 
til the end of May; and from August until 
freezing time, in the Fall.
