Extra larg^e, free-flowering ivory-white. One of the latest varieties. Dreer's Perfect Paeonies. The Herbaceous Paeonies have always held an im- portant place among hardy plants, and with the wonder- ful improvements made during recent years have estab- lished themselves among the leaders for popular favor. Their requirements are so simpleâa good, rich, deep soil 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 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, are not troubled with insect pests or disease of any kind, and once planted take care of themselves, increasing in beauty each year. An important point to observe in the planting of Herbaceous Paeonies is not to plant too deep. The roots should be placed so that the crowns are covered v^'ith 2 inches of soil. Too deep planting is a frequent cause of shy flowering. F0URTEE:N FIIVEST HERBACEOIS P^^OXIES. Asa Gray. Pale lilac, sprinkled with minute dols of deeper lilac. Alexander Dumas.
