Gorgeous 
PEONIES 
The Only Rival of the Rose 
Extra Strong 3 to 5 Eye Clumps 
They are perfectly hardy, and will 
thrive in almost any location and 
when once planted will increase in 
size and beauty each year. No disease 
or insects ever trouble these plants. 
To make a home complete Peonies 
should be in every yard. 
Peonies may be planted in the fall 
or spring-. Avoid planting too deeply, 
as this is often the cause of the shy 
blooming; 2 inches of soil over the 
crown (eyes) being sufficient. Plant 
in the open, away from buildings. 
I am now only growing three of 
the very best Peonies, Red, White and 
Pink. They are beauties and will de¬ 
light the most critical Peony fancier.
