Herbaceous Peonies. 
Beyond doubt the Herbaceous Pseonies are among the showiest and most useful of hardy plants; the full, massive 
flowers are gorgeous and grand. A few years ago there were not many representatives of this class of Peonies, but now, 
thanks to the hybridists, who have exercised their skill on them, we have a great number of varieties, ranging from the 
various shades of deep crimson down to pure white, while the petals of others are marked with stripes or tipped in the way 
of Carnations. Not only are the Herbaceous 
Paeonies large and splendid in color, but most 
of them are sweet scented and, when cut and 
placed in water, perfume a large room. They are 
of the easiest culture, but they will repay thfc 
trouble of making a deep, rich soil for them. 
They can be naturalized in the grass or shrubbery, 
and will take care of themselves in any location. 
Our collection is the finest ever offered in this 
country.
