ROSES AND PEONIES 55 
Polyantha Roses 
PEONIES 
Peonies are among the most gorgeous plants that can be grown 
in a garden. Given a deep, rich soil and a sunny situation they 
will thrive anywhere. A mulch of manure each fall will help to 
maintain them. Plant the roots 2 to 3 inches below the surface 
of the ground. Strong divisions with 3 to 5 eyes, and plenty of 
roots, and larger size than usually secured from the growers. 
Price, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz., except where noted 
POLYANTHA ROSES 
These dwarf Roses are becoming more popular every year for

especially valuable for a hedge or border or for massing for 
spectacular decorative effect.
