Their re- quirements are so simple—a good, rich, deep soil, and an open, sunny position; which, however, is not absolutely necessary, aS they thrive almost equally as well in a partly shaded position, and a liberal supply of water during their growing season being sufficient to give an abundance and wealth of flowers, which rival the finest Roses in coloring and fragrance, and produce |_during their flowering season a gorgeous effect not equalled by any other flower. They are perfectly hardy, requiring no protection whatever, even in the most severe climate, and once planted increase in beauty each year. An important point to observe in the planting of Herbaceous Peonies is not to plant too deep. The roots should be placed so that the crowns are cov- ered with two inches of soil.
