CHOICE PEONIES 
Peonies are delightful companions for irises; their dense foliage alone makes a charming background and their wonderful abundance of 
gorgeous and gay-colored flowers blend so beautifully with the colors in the irises that each enhances the beauty of the other.

must necessarily have or develop a fondness for the other.
