THE FLOWERS 
FOR EVERYBODY 
There are few flowers which have been improved more than 
the Peony. From the old-fashioned reds and pinks, familiar in 
our grandmothers' gardens we now have marvelous varieties 
with better color, form, and all-around quality. 
They are at home and should be in every garden. Plant the < 
crowns about two or three inches deep, use bone meal, see 
that they get sufficient water at blooming time, and you will 
be more than pleased if you use HILLENMEYER'S CHOICE 
ROOTS.
