Herbaceous Peonies 
In the long list of hardy her¬ 
baceous plants which are gain¬ 
ing in favor every year with all 
the plant-loving world, none 
stand higher than the Herba¬ 
ceous Peonies. They are very 
hardy and easily grown in any 
good garden soil, requiring only 
to be heavily manured every 
fall. The stately beauty of their 
bloom, in such an infinite variety 
of colors, makes them indis- Single Herbaceous Peony 
pensable for every garden. Many have the delicate fragrance 
of the rose and, seen in masses against a background of dark 
foliage, produce magnificent effects. The detailed list of our 
collection is given in our Calendar of Perennials. 
Perennial Phlox 
Perhaps the most widely grown and popular of all the garden 
plants. Certainly no perennial is more worthy, more satisfactory 
in every condition, or more 
effective either as individual 
plants or grouped in masses in 
the shrubbery border. All of 
the Phloxes, except the dwarf 
form, are well adapted for 
cutting and exceedingly florif- 
erous. Our collection will give 
bloom from June until frost. 
Phlox var. Independence 
The Creeping Phlox 
The species Subulata and 
its many varieties are just as 
important in our garden work 
for ground-cover as are the 
perennial Phloxes, where the 
garden requires the taller 
sorts. Indispensable in the 
rock-garden and on slopes.
