NEW FLORAL GUIDE, AUTUMN, 1916 
Standard Double Peonies 
35 cts. each, postpaid 
Peonies are adapted for planting in groups throughout 
the perennial or shrub border and are very effective when 
used by themselves on account of the size of the blooms 
and their gorgeous colorings. They rival the rose in fra¬ 
grance and beauty and are desirable because of their ex¬ 
treme hardiness.
