Strong roots, except where noted, 75 cts. each Dreer's Fragrant Peonies The wonderfully improved Peonies introduced in recent years are truly the 'Queen of Spring Flowers," and are well adapted for massing in beds, and par- ticularly valuable for planting in groups throughout the perennial or shrubbery border, where their bril- liant hues add attraction to all around. Their re- quirements are so simpleâa good, rich deep soil, and an open sunny position; which, however, is not ab- solutely 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 covered with two inches of soil.
