Field of Peonies in Full Bloom 
Fine, hardy plants, rivaling the rose in perfection of bloom, color and fra- 
grance. They are at home in any climate or soil, but thrive best in a deep, rich, 
well-drained loam. They make a gorgeous display planted in beds, on the lawn, 
or planted singly along the walk or herbaceous border. The Peony is perfectly 
hardy and generally able to care for itself, but it does not follow that they enjoy 
neglect. Give them ample room in which to grow, keeping them free from weeds 
and grass, and they will amply repay all the care given. A word to beginners: Use 
no fertilizer of any kind on newly set Peonies. Don’t be alarmed when you see 
your newly set Peonies begin to turn brown in July and appear to be quite dea 
in August. This is natural. They will be on hand again in the spring. 
_The following varieties embrace a wide range of color and will be found very 
satisfactory. Prices quoted are for strong divisions. 
Fine old favorites for beds or border. They have a wide range of gorgeous 
colors and delightfully fragrant. 
Fertilizers should not be applied to new-set peonies.
