Vaughan's Peonies 
are probably the most valuable, and most be- 
loved of all perennial plants. Planted in sun or 
semi-shade in single clumps or long beds; or border- 
ing lawns, shrub rows, and drives, they give a grand 
display of large fragrant blossoms of brilliant colors 
during June, followed by their exquisite foliage which 
is very ornamental during summer months They are 
also most effective for home and table decorations, 
and last longer in water than many other perennials 
Avoid buying cheap Peonies; they require just as 
much care as the better kinds, and are disappointing 
in the end
