PAEONIAS. 
Few hardy herbaceous plants 
arc so suited to any position in 
garden or grounds ns the Ptco-

effective, and the dark green 
foliage at all times is attractive.

beries, or in fact lor any large 
plantation, than Pieonins? They 
are also well suited to massing

thorough spading; yes, trench
