a. The double variety is better known as ‘‘Butter and Eggs.’’ 
Some 
species (Jonquille) are various shades of yellow. The scent of some varie- 
ties is said to produce dangerous effects upon the nerves. 
b. These may be propagated by dividing the roots (in September) into as 
many pieces as they are tubers with buds. 
c. The Tree Peonas can be propagated from seed, suckers, layers, or 
grafting. Long manure should be placed over Pzeonas in the fall for pro- 
tection, and which will tend greatly to increase the strength of their bloom.
