Peonies Lend Themselves Admirably to Border Planting 
Yrs Planting Ther ee Hardy eros: 
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 following the names. 10 stands for perfecton. 
Prices: Our extra heavy clumps will make an excellent showing the first season.
