Peonies on West.

Peonies on the west side of the house, if the outlook permits of It, is a good place to make your peony border, as this will make a good foundation screen as well, writes'a contributor to Woman’s World. Peonies should have a sunny location. Some good ones are Asa Gray, lilac; Dr. Galliot, rose; Felix Caroussa, red; Festiva Maxima, white. If the border for these Is especially prepared, dug two feet deep, ana drained, it will need little or nothing done to It for two years. Do not set the plants too close—three feet at the start will cause the plants to touch at the end of six years. Annuals may be put in Intervening space until ft is covered by peonies. Any of the lilies, gladioli or Iris Germanics would answer the purpose.
