CURRIE BROTHERS CO., MILWAUKEE, WIS Page 99 Curriers Peonies. EXQUISITE PEONIES Modern Peonies are rapidly becoming the leading hardy flower- ing plant. They can take the place of low-growing common shrubs because their foliage remains attractive all summer, and besides, they produce every spring an abundance of glorious, fragrant blossoms. Peonies are perfectly hardy and do well in any well-drained garden soil. They respond to care, of course, and an application of well-decayed manure every spring or fall is recommendable. Plant so that the eyes are covered with not more than 2 inches of soil. Peonies are very attractive planted in beds along the drive in the perennial border, against a background of evergreens. Lilies do very well planted among Peonies.
