fragrance, usefulness as cut-flowers, and immunity from attacks of insects and disease. 
We have exceptional facilities, not only for testing them in our own good soil here, but also for mak¬ 
ing critical examinations of some of the finest collections grown, thus enabling us to select for our customers 
the kinds which leading specialists agree are without rivals. You may order freely and feel safe.

Peony Culture 
Peonies will grow anywhere—reasonably speak¬ 
ing. They thrive in partial shade, but best results 
arc obtained when they are planted in deep, 
rich soil about 2 inches below the surface and 
,) have a sunny location. Plenty of water during 
t he growing season is an added stimulus, and 
if liquid manure is applied at intervals of ten 
days, the grower will be amply repaid for his 
trouble in the increased size and coloring of the 
flowers. When placing manure around the plants, 
• arc should be taken not to put any on the stems, 
as this will sometimes cause the plants to cease 
blooming. September and October are the first 
choice of planting months.
