P^O'NIA. Pseony. .(Named after Paeon,

Seeds for raising varieties, sown in September, 

 in a cold pit, will appear some the first, and others 

 the second, spring. Herbaceous kinds, by divi- 

 sion of the roots. Tree, or Moutan, by division ; 

 by grafting on the herbaceous roots ; by cuttings 

 of the young shoots in spring, under a glass, and 

 in a little heat ; by layers and suckers ; by layer- 

 ing young shoots, after ringing round each bud, 

 so that each bud forms a plant ; deep, good loam. 

 The Moutans require a little protection in spring ; 

 do well for forcing, and for the borders of large, 

 cool conservatories, where the temperature is not 

 kept high in winter.
