The Flowers 
q Go tes for Everybody : | » 
There are few flowers which have been improved more than the Peony. From ry 
the old-fashioned reds and pinks, familiar in our grandmothers’ gardens, we : é 
now have marvelous varieties with better color, form, and all-around quality. 
Peonies are often rated on the basis of 10 as perfect but we are frank to ii 
state that we do not always concur. We have tested hundreds of varieties ge 
so as to give our customers:the best and find that some of the highest rated : 
kinds just do not perform satisfactorily here in the South. The kinds offered 
can be planted with confidence. 
They are at home and should be in every garden. Plant the crowns about i + 
2 or 3 inches deep, use bone meal, see that they get sufficient water at bloom- 
ing time and you will be more than pleased if you use HILLENMEYER’S 
CHOICE ROOTS.
