In addition, chapters devoted to general information are added 
as of interest, and books going further into detail on the various 
subjects are suggested.

The Only Book on this Exquisite Flower 
THE BOOK of THE PEONY 
By MRS. EDWARD HARDING 
44 illustrations (20 in full color from autochromes and 24 half-tones from 
photographs). Handsome Octavo, $6.00 net. 
This book, by an expert, covers the whole subject. The suggestions on 
purchasing are of the utmost value to the beginner. There are simple and 
explicit directions for planting (time, places and method), cultivating, fertiliz¬ 
ing and propagating. In addition, there are very valuable lists, charts, tables 
and map. 
President of the Garden Club 
of America 
“When one starts to read ‘The Book 
of the Peony’ it is hard to put it down. 
It sets out authoritatively the essen¬ 
tial and interesting facts, but apart 
from the information it affords, the 
literary style is so clear and the 
thoughts are so well expressed, that 
the book is delightful. I think 'The 
Book of the Peony’ is the best garden 
book I have read—and I read them 
all.’’ MBS. J. WILLIS MABTIN. 
Horticulture 
“It is thoroughly up-to-date in 
every detail that the grower of peonies, 
whether amateur or commercial, should 
know . . . Our garden literature is 
greatly enriched by this notable ad¬ 
dition.’’ 
Vice-President of the American 
Peony Society 
"... a gem of horticultural liter¬ 
ature. You rtho author] have pro¬ 
duced a book which is eminently prac¬ 
tical throughout and thereby conferred 
a boon on all lovers of a garden—par¬ 
ticularly those who are under the spell 
of the peony. 
“May you rthe author] live long to 
receive the praises of those fortunate 
enough to possess a copy.’’ 
E. J. SHAYLOB. 
The Congregationalist 
“An admirable hook by a cultured 
pen. full of instructive and interesting 
matter, with valuable lists and tables 
and illuminated by a multitude of fine 
illustrations, a great many being ex¬ 
cellent flower portraits in colour.”
