P/EONY BORDER From Country Life. 
Herbaceous Paeonies. 
(Ready in September.) 
I am glad that this good old-fashioned flower is becoming popular again, and if there were nothing to be obtained but 
the few old-fashioned sorts once seen in every garden their popularity would be well deserved, but nothing has been im¬ 
proved more than the Peeony, and the English and Japanese growers have given us varieties that are really superb. Many 
of them are equal in form and coloring to the finest roses, and some are sweet scented. Their hardiness, ease of culture and 
the great size and plentifulness of bloom make them extremely desirable and effective in the garden or on the lawn. They are 
most effective when planted in large masses of separate colors. I have made arrangements for supplying my customers with 
the best Peonies obtainable in America, Europe and Japan, and at the lowest prices consistent with the highest quality. Sep¬ 
tember and October are best months in the year for planting Paionies.
