THE PEONY ° Kia of Perennials 
Acclaimed for its regal beauty and gorgeous colors 
There are many reasons why Peonies deserve the high place they have among garden plants. They 
are extra hardy and after the toughest of winters the herbaceous types never fail to push their pink 
shoots through the ground at their appointed time. As large as a small shrub, and with attractive, 
healthy foliage, the plants are good to look at both before and after bloom. About all they ask is good, 
rich, loamy soil and an annual top-dressing of bonemeal or thoroughly decayed manure.

The Peony has often been called 
King of the Perennials because it is 
so dependably hardy and long-lived. So 
plan to plant more Peonies this fall.
