Many of the older varieties of Peonies have been dis¬ 
carded and sometimes we overlook good qualities which 
have made these varieties so well liked in the past. The 
varieties listed in this series will not produce individual 
blooms for the show table, but they do make a pretty 
effect in the garden.

ing variety of large, globular form. Coloring a beau¬
