PAEONIES, HERBACEOUS. The Paeony is to¬ 
day without a rival as a hardy garden favorite 
and is quite naturally so, as no hardy garden 
plant probably thrives with as little special care 
and pi oduces so fine a display of gorgeous 
blooms. The great diversity of color ancCform 
which can now be obtained, very much increases 
the importance of this plant.
