HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS. 
PAEONIES, HERBACEOUS. The Paeonv is to¬ 
day without a rival as a hardy garden favorite, 
and quite naturally so, as no other hardy garden 
plant thrives with as little special care and pro 
duces as fine a display of gorgeous blooms. The 
great diversity of color and form which can now 
be obtained, very much increases the import¬ 
ance of the Paeonia.
