CO., AUTUMN CATALOGUE, 1911 13 PAEONIES CHOICE HERBACEOUS VARIETIES. Paeonies have continued to increase in popu- lar favor with each succeeding year as pre- eminent among- our hardly perennial plants. In response to the increasing1 demand, cultiva- tors of this beautiful plant have enthusiastic- ally engaged themselves in introducing and propagating new varities, aiming at more perfect flowers of more delicate tints and deeper, richer shades. The new varieties themselves sufficiently attest the success of these efforts. Not to have seen any of them at its best is to have missed a flower exquisi- tively lovely. From these and our standard varieties one may find any shade or combina- tion of colors he may desire to enhance the beauty of his lawn or herbaceous border. No class of plants is more easily grown than Paeonies and few repay the care given them so generously. They are perfectly hardy and thrive in almost any soil, but any extra atten- tion given them will be amply repaid; deeply cultivated and well enriched loam suits them best. In shady places, where few plants will succeed, Paeonies will grow luxuriantly. Such spots are usually to be found, and the colors of the flowers are brighter and they last much longer than if fully exposed to the sun. The plants, however, thrive equally well in sunny situations, and planted in front of shrubbery or on either side of walks they are very effec- tive. CHOICE VARIETIES OF PAEONIES. -A grand paeony.
