DOUBLE HERBACEOUS PAEONIES 
Double Paeonia-i sie too well known to require description. Their 
popularity is due to the great improvement in them in recent years, 
their easy culture, the 1 andsome appearance of the plant, and the 
brilliant and striking effect of their massive, finely formed and richly 
colored flowers. The attention given to them, in Europe and in 
America, has resulted in the production of many notably fine new 
varieties. Among hardy, herbaceous perennials, the Chinese Paeonies 
rank about first for lawn or flower border, or shnibbery decoration.
