55 



P/EONIA. 



A well, known, hardy herbaceous plant. Our collection comprises some of the most distinct 

 sorts, varying in color from white to deep crimson. 



Price, 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



PAMPAS GRASS (Cynerium Argenteum)- 



A stately species of grass from South America, growing six feet in height, with plumes of 

 yellowish white, one to two feet in length ; it looks best as a single specimen. As it is not quite 

 nardy North, it requires protection of eight or ten inches of leaves around the roots, or it can be 

 removed to the cellar and replanted in spring. 



Price, 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



Larger size, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen. 



PANSIES. 



Our stock of Pansies has been so much improved by saving only from the best flowers, that 

 now a large proportion of our own seedlings are equal to European varieties. 

 Price, 15 cents each; $1.50 per dozen. 

 For extra fine fancy sorts, see our colored plate in front of catalogue. 



PANICUM VARIEGATUM. 



A variegated grass of drooping or creeping habit; a valuable plant for baskets or vases. Its 

 style of growth is peculiarly graceful, the color of the leaves is dark green, white, and rose — the 

 white and green being about equally divided, the rose-shade margining the white slightly. It 

 attains a diameter of two feet in a few months' gro vth, and thus developed is exceedingly beau- 

 tiful. It grows best in oartial shade. 



Price, 25 cents each; $2.25 per dozen.
