Paeonies (Herbaceous.) 
The Paeony 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 produces as fine 
a display of gorgeous blooms. The great diversity of color 
and form which can now be obtained in the new and improv¬ 
ed varieties very much increases their value.
