Sedum; Stonecrop 
“Among the most ‘rocky' of rock plants:’’ excellent between 
the rocks, along walks, in walls and other places where few 
plants thrive: a dainty edging for flower beds or borders; use¬

seasons and the dwarf habit of many varieties; easily grown in

Peonies are 
You can have glorious, fragrant Peonies—Peonies of all 
colors from snowy-white through light and deep shades of pink 
to gorgeous reds and crimsons. Hardy as the oak, they are easily 
grown. Often in old gardens one sees large clumps that have 
flourished and bloomed for years, yet they liberally repay all 
attention given them. Peonies thrive in almost any good, well 
drained soil. Plant about 3 ft. apart. They are best in full sun, 
but succeed with shade part of the day. The early varieties 
usually begin blooming here about May 5th to 8th. 
How We Describe Peonies 
We have endeavored to convey as accurate an impression of 
the colors as can be done by words. The name and date in par¬ 
enthesis is the originator and the date of introduction. There 
are no single Peonies in this list. The guards are the wide outer 
petals. Crown, bomb, semi-rose and rose is the type or form of 
flower, classified as follows: 
Crown. Wide center or crown petals with narrower, shorter 
petals forming a collar or ring between them and the guards. 
The crown petals are not always prominent. 
Bomb. Central petals of uniform width but narrower than 
the guards and forming a globe within the guards. 
Semi-rose. Flowers that would be classed as rose type but for 
an occasional pollen bearing stamen. 
Rose. Perfectly full, all petals wide, no stamens. The central 
petals may not be as wide as the guards, but if quite distinct 
it would be a bomb. The line dividing the rose and bomb is 
sometimes quite an arbitrary one.

Similar to rupestris, a little taller; bright blue flowers in 
small spikes. 20c each, 3 for 55c, $2.00 per doz. 
Veronica rupestris

times late April, with small 4-petaled bright blue flowers 3/8 
in. across on tiny spikes 3 to 4 in. high. Stands dry weather 
well. Divide and replant every two years. 15c each, 3 for 40c. 
$1.50 per doz.

One of the mast showy violets in latter March, with rich pur¬ 
ple flowers I-W 2 in. broad; the flower stems are as long or 
longer than the leaves, so the flowers are well displayed; vigor¬ 
ous and succeeds in full sun. 15c each, 3 for 40c, $1.50 per 
doz.

culture, and of vigorous growth, soon making large clumps; 
fragrant, deep, rich bluish-purple flowers in March and April, 
often in February, and again in October and November. Good 
in the rockery, at the front of perennial borders, along walks,
