Hardy (Ponies 
PEONIES are possibly the most permanent of our herbaceous plants and 
of easiest culture. They will thrive satisfactorily in any good garden soil. 
Cover the eyes of the roots not more than one inch with soil. If carefully 
fed, they may be permitted to remain undisturbed for a number of years 
and will give satisfactory bloom year after year. 
Long lists of peonies are confusing. We have therefore selected a 
Master List of Peonies, consisting of the highest-rated varieties. The ratings 
as established by the American Peony Society are given immediately fol- 
lowing the names. 10 stands for perfection. 
Prices: Our extra heavy clumps will make an excellent showing the 
first season. 
A standard size clump can be supplied at substantially lower prices. 
We recommend extra heavy clumps.
