PEONIES 
Jewels of the June Garden 
Hardy, graceful and undemanding, the peony is one of America’s favorite peren- 
nials. They reward their growers with quantities of blooms, and their beautiful 
foliage is an asset to the garden throughout the season. If many of the new 
varieties are not already a part of your garden you are missing a real opportunity for 
pleasure and pride. 
As a hobby a fine collection of peonies will transport you from everyday cares 
and responsibilities of life into a wonderland of delight. In the peony garden you will 
discover continual surprises throughout the blooming season. 
To assist you in making color selections we have grouped the varieties into four 
general color groups namely, white, light pink, dark pink and red. In the white 
class will also be found light yellows, and whites that show blush or light pink when 
first opening and later change to white. The pink class is made up of rose-pink, 
salmon-pink, lavender-pink, etc. In the red class will be found light, medium, maroon 
and black-red. This general classification, we trust, will assist you somewhat in mak- 
ing selections. 
For complete alphabetical list of peony varieties see pages 39 and 40.
