21 OF THE WORLD'S BEST AND HIGHEST RATED VARIETIES 
Planted in solid beds and borders along driveways and paths, Peonies 
not only produce dozens of blooms in striking colors during late May and 
June but provide good foliage all season. They are also most valuable as 
accent plants in the perennial border. Plant our big, healthy, 2-year undi- 
vided roots in good fresh average soil and in full sun. Years and years of 
Peony blooms will then be yours. Cultural information sent with every order.
