Early or May flowering Peonies

easily be planted close to other peren- 
nials. Blooming much earlier than the 
other Peonies they are very desirable for 
a prolonged Peony season. 
Those listed are the well-known and

loved Peonies of olden days with the ad- 
dition of a later pink and white improve- 
ment.
