Excerpt from Peonies in the Little Garden The rapidly growing fame of the modern peony is stimulating great interest among gardeners. Shows exclusively devoted to the peony are being held with frequency in many places, and nurserymen are offering much longer lists than formerly. This increasing interest brings in its train a spirited demand for information regarding the peony its cor rect cultivation and the special qualities of different Varieties. Here is a glorious flower fitted for widespread planting. The peony in the farm dooryard, the peony in the tiny garden of a house in a little town how steadily it grows! How surely it opens its sumptuous flowers in spots to which too often it and it alone gives interest and beauty! When Mrs. Edward Harding's brilliant work, The Book of the Peony, appeared six years ago, it not only was the first book on the subject, but it created a great interest in a flower previously little known in litera ture and far too little known to the average gardener. The peony has been Mrs. Harding's great enthusiasm for years. This pleasure she has endeavored to _put into the lives of other gardeners who may not yet have tasted it. I remember writing to the author of that book, then a stranger to me, of the delightful and stimulating quality of her pages. I know well that thousands of gardeners will get from this, Mrs. Hard ing's latest book, not only the information they need concerning the peony, but such inspiration as will bring the peony into numbers of borders where hitherto it has been unknown. Mrs. Harding's thorough knowledge of the peony from long growing and observation in her own garden, her critical taste, and her fine and lively style of writing, will give the owners of this book not only the best possible guide in peonies for their own gardens, but a capital addition to their garden libraries. With this book any one can order roots judiciously, plant intelligently, compare, collect, cut, show, and best of all enjoy the peony to the utmost. I must stress the fact that Mrs. Harding writes out of an experience of years, not only with peonies, but with other flowers among them irises, lilacs, and lilies. Her garden contains the choicest varieties of all of these. From her peony collection others in various parts of the world have been enlarged and their owners have been stimulated by that de lightful sharing which brings happiness to giver and receiver. Collee tions of peony roots have gone from Mrs. Harding's garden to the Bronx Botanical Gardens, New York City; to the Royal Horticultural Society.

There’s no more breathtaking signal of summer’s onset than the blooming of peonies. Stunningly beautiful and relatively easy to grow, peonies are a favorite flower everywhere they can be cultivated and for good reason: the heady fragrances and enchanting colors of a peony-rich display create an immersive experience that has enamored generations of garden lovers across the world. This passion is on full display each June at the historic Peony Garden of the University of Michigan’s Nichols Arboretum. Originally planted in 1922, the Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden now boasts North America’s largest public collection of heirloom herbaceous peonies. The Peony Garden has become a sacred space for the Ann Arbor community, a not-to-be-missed sensation when it erupts each season, as the Ann Arbor Observer once wrote, in “a riot of color, of crimson, rose and shell pink intermingled with fluffy pompoms of creamy white.” The rather short period of peak bloom—about two fleeting weeks each year—only seems to intensify the garden’s appeal, drawing thousands of visitors annually to this spectacular “living museum” on campus that showcases upwards of 10,000 blossoms. Richly illustrated with hundreds of striking color photos, Passion for Peonies collects short essays that celebrate the story of the Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden as well as the rich social history of peony gardening that it is an integral part of. Together these pieces comprise a love letter both to a magical public space at the University of Michigan and to the broader history and culture of peony gardening. The book will appeal to readers interested in the University of Michigan, the history of public gardens, and of course peonies!
