Showy herbaceous Peony, white in 
the type, but ranging in the many va- 
rieties through shades of pink and 
red, also parti-colored. For location 
and cultivation see P. 
Siberia. 
Beautiful shrub with very large 
flowers. Many double or single varie- 
ties, in colors from white to crimson. 
Harder to grow than other species, 
needing protected spot and winter 
covering. Plant in isolated clumps or 
in border or on the edge of shrubbery. 
Prop. by grafting on roots of herba- 
ceous species. Does not flower until 
third year. Being a gross feeder, it 
requires a rich moist Joam enriched 
with cow manure. China. See Plate, 
page 158. 
Herbaceous Peonies, typically crim- 
son, but the parents of many colored 
horticultural vars. Large single or 
double flowers varying from white to 
deep crimson and parti-colored. Hand- 
some divided foliage. Hardy and ef- 
fective in clumps or masses in large 
border or for edging beds of shrubs. 
Half shade is desirable. Prop. usually 
by division in early autumn. Being 
gross feeders, they require a, deep 
rather moist loam enriched with cow 
manure. 
Herbaceous Peony. Effective spe- 
cies resembling P. officinalis; the

vation see P. officinalis. S. Europe.
