I"(on\e 'Beautiful 
Where 
happy 
Fbfme knows no warmer welcome than 
the flower border approach to its door¬ 
way, What is there that is more im¬ 
portant in home beautification and 
decoration than the Peony and the 
Iris? Flowers are the smiles of nature 
in its happiest mood, greeting the 
dweller, the guest and the stranger 
alike with their friendly radiance, 
flowers are there is love, for love feeds on flowers and the 
thoughts conceived in flowers. 
Chief among home flowers are the Peony and the Iris. Both may be 
had in almost endless variety. Being hardy perennials, requiring 
very little care after planting, they are especially desirable for home 
and garden ornamentation. The surpassing beauty of the Peony is 
most effectively displayed when planted to form a border for lawn, 
fountain, walk or driveway. An appropriate background of thick 
shrubbery brings forth the utmost love¬ 
liness of their exquisite colorings. The 
Iris, too, lends itself splendidly to home 
approaches and decoration. 
The home beautiful — can it be with¬ 
out flowers? The very thought suggests 
flowers. Human art enhanced with a 
divine artistry. No home is so modest, 
no mansion so complete, but that it 
may be made more beautiful and attrac¬ 
tive with flowers — the Peony and the Iris.
