PEONIES tex, 
There are few flowers which have been improved more than the Peony. From the 
old-fashioned reds and pinks, familiar in our grandmother's gardens, we now have mar- 
velous varieties with better color, form, and all-around quality. 
Peonies are often rated on the basis of 10 as perfect but we are frank 
to state that we do not always agree. We have tested hundreds of varieties 
so as to give our customers the best and find that some of the highest rated 
kinds just do not perform satisfactorily here in the South. The kinds offered 
| can be planted with confidence. 













— 
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 sufficient water at 
blooming time, and you will be more than pleased'if you use HILLENMEYER’S
