Peony—King of Sp ring Flow ers
Beloved by everybody, no flower can ex

to year it s popula r ity incr eases, so thatit has been very appr opr ia tely termed theKing of F lower s.
It is not only r ich in co lor and a ttr act ivein form , but it is r emarkab ly easy to gr ow ,being seldom _
a ttacked by insects o r dis
ease. Any one can r a ise Peonies, and theirlow cost puts them w ithin the r each of all .
Fo r ease of cult ivat ion they a r e no t t o be
exce l led . .They w i l l thr ive in a ll so i ls, unless t oo sandy, and in field cultur e a r e
mo r e eas ily r a ised than po tatoes. Althoughr equi r ing less attent ion a fter being p lantedthan any other flower , they w i l l r espondabundantly to good ca r e .
Peonies can be p lanted in every conceiv
ab le p lace—as single specimens, in la r ge o r
sma l l beds, aga inst shrubbery, o r in longr ows bo r der ing wa lks and d r ives. Mass
p lant ing a lways p r oduces the gr andesteffects.
Even when out of flower the p lant is a t

which w il l lend touches o f co lo rto the mass of gr een dur ing the summer

Fo r their deco r a t ive effect as cut flower s,Peonies, by r eason o f thei r r ich co lo r and
