HAINES BEAUTIFUL HARDY 
PAEONIES 
President Roosevelt Poeony 
Paeonies, especially the modern introductions, are probably the most valuable, and most be¬ 
loved of all perennial plants. Planted in sun or semi-shade, in single clumps or long beds, or 
bordering lawns, shrub rows, and carriage drives, they give a grand display of largo fragrant 
blossoms of brilliant colors during June, followed by their exquisite foliage which is very orna¬ 
mental during summer months. They are also most effective for home and table decorat ions, 
and last longer in water than many other perennials. Avoid buying cheap Paeonies; they 
require just as much care as the better kinds, and are disappointing in the end.
