Madison St., Chicago HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS—Continued PEONIES The Peony of all the hardy outdoor plants is perhaps the oldest and best known inhabitant of the flower garden, and in the improved double forms offered by us the gorgeous display of blooms in the month of June is unequalled, the flowers being perfectly double, many being very fragrant and all of massive size. They are the "Queen of Spring Flowers," and are well adapted for massing in beds, and particularly valuable for planting in groups throughout the perennial or shrubbery border, where their brilliant hues add attraction to all around. Their requirements 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 Koses in coloring and fragrance, and produce during their flowering season a gor- geous effect not equalled by any other flower. They are per- fectly 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 Peonies is not to plant too deep. The roots should be placed so that the crowns are covered with 2 inches of soil. Too deep planting and poor soil is a frequent cause of shy flowering. We can supply large clumps of many varieties of Peonies from $ to $ each. The dozen price is obtained by multiplying- single price by 10. If wanted by mail, add 5c each for postage on the smaller size roots. Large roots will be forwarded by express, not prepaid.
