Plant Shrubs and Flowers for Beauty and Pleasure 
PLANT PEONIES 
Peonies 
Peonies happen to be my favorite perennial be¬ 
cause they sticketh as close as a friend, are so 
easy to grow and live so long and do repay one 
many times each season with their immense fra¬ 
grant blossoms, putting one in mind of oversized 
fully opened roses as the scent is similar and have 
as many colors, but are more friendly in that 
no thorns tear or scratch the flesh of those that 
care for them. As easy to plant as potatoes. 
Three assorted Peony roots, pink, red and white 
colors for 90c; 6 assorted Peonies for $1.50, post¬ 
paid.
