Herbaceous Perennials 
THE ELM CITY NURSERY COMPANY 
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 improved varieties very much increases 
their value.
