PEONIES 
The Flowers For Everybody 
There are few flowers which have been im¬ 
proved more than the Peony. From the old- 
fashioned reds and pinks, familiar in our grand¬ 
mothers' gardens, we now have marvelous va- 
reties with better color, form, and all-around 
quality. 
They are at home and should be in every 
garden. Plant the crowns about 2 or 3 inches 
deep, use bone meal, see that they get suf- 
ficent water at blooming time, and you will 
be more than pleased if you use HILLEN- 
MEYER'S CHOICE ROOTS.
