PJEONY BORDER.— From Country Life. 
Herbaceous Paeonies. 
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 Pasony, 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 supply¬ 
ing my customers with the best Pseonies obtainable in America, Europe and Japan and at the lowest prices consistent with 
the highest quality. The newest varieties of Preonies from the famous English nursery of Messrs. Kelway & Son are imported 
to order. Messrs. Kelway & Son’s catalogue will be sent for examination on receipt of 25 cents to cover postage.
