PEONY 
Paeonies should be planted in good, rich, deep, moist soil after which they require less attention than any other 
class of flowering plants. 
They are perfectly hardy and their remarkable freedom from disease and insects make them most desirable. 
Some of the varieties are of enormous size, perfectly double and deliciously fragrant. In color the Paeonia rivals 
the Rose in beauty ranging from pure white to darkest red and the shades of pink are truly magnificent. Paeonies thrive 
in all locations whether in the broad sunlight or in partial shade. 
Our blocks attract hundreds of visitors every year.
