PEONIES. The modern Peony is largely de- 
rived from a very few species. As we are 
listing them here, no attempt is made at 
other than alphabetical order. Their culture 
and place is too well known to need comment. 
We send out Peonies in September, by prefer- 
ence, and the prices quoted are subject to 
change at that time. We do not anticipate 
any advance, but we do occasionally lower our 
rates.

TREE PEONIES. Botanically, these are forms 
of P. suffruticosa. They are carefully grafted

without dying to the ground in winter. The 
flowers have a wonderful texture, and color- 
ings not found in the forms of P. albiflora. 
Culture is not difficult, but they require a very 
rich soil. A heavy clay loam is best, well 
enriched each year, with old manure and bone
