"We have over 100 varieties of these beautiful plants. 
It is surprising that these elegant plants are not 
grown more generally than they are, as there is no 
plant that produces the effecton a lawn that Penonies 
do. They are absolutely hardy everywhere, have no 
insect enemies, and always live and grow in beauty 
from year to year. The finer and newer varieties of 
this old garden favorite will surprise and delight 
every one, as the perfection of flower and variety of 
color have been carried to a very high degree. "No 
plants grown will produce as fine a display for the 
I money invested. They bloom in June and July. The 
I flowers are well adapted to cutting for the ornamen¬ 
tation of the house, as they rival the rose in perfec¬ 
tion of flower and brilliancj^ of coloring, possessing 
striking individuality that is in accord with the pres¬ 
ent taste and style in floral decorations. Our collec¬ 
tion embraces the choicest named colors in various 
shades—white, light pink, deep rose, crimson, blush,
