Jewels of the June Garden 
Within the past twenty-five years there has been great improvement made in the 
peony. Colors have been improved; new colors introduced; hybrids greatly extend- 
ing the season of bloom have been developed; vigor of plant and sturdiness of stem 
have been greatly improved, making the peony one of our most desirable perennials. 
It stands out as King of all perennials. No more hardy plant can be found to grace 
the gardens or enhance our landscape effects. They are truly satisfying, dependable 
and majestic. Their extreme-long life and their wide diversity in color, type and 
season of bloom, makes it possible to enjoy them over a long period of time, Their 
enchanting loveliness thrills one with delight. You just can’t find a more worthy 
perennial. 
For quick reference of peony varieties see our complete alphabetical list on 
pages 54 and 50.
