Peonies 
Wherever one desires continuing bloom year after year 
from plants in the garden, we recommend the planting of 
Peonies. Hardy in almost all parts of this country and Canada, 
the vigor of the plants and the wealth of blooms in their 
lovely shades of white, pink and rich reds give delightful 
effects both in the garden and as cut flowers. When once 
established, the plants increase in size and quality for many 
years and need not be disturbed. They will persist in many 
localities where other perennials fail to grow and their in- 
creasing use testifies to their popularity. 
Peonies are especially decorative as cut flowers and many 
amateur enthusiasts give thousands every year to churches 
and_ hospitals. 
We have endeavored to consistently maintain our free-bloom- 
ing Cherry Hill Strain by selective propagation and the large, 
vigorous plants which we furnish give satisfactory results.

flowers. In this type of soil, no especial preparation is nec-

You may use any garden fertilizer available or bone meal.
