Pzonia simenmsis. Chinese or herba- 
ceous Peonia. Herbaceous plants of different 
colors and great beauty; they should be planted 
during fall in a shady situation, as they flower 
early in spring. If planted too late they will 
not flower perfectly; 25c. each. 
Ranunculus. Double Flowering. The 
roots can be planted during fall and winter, 
either in the open ground or in pots. The 
French varieties are more robust than the 
Persian, and the flowers are larger. The ground 
should be rather dry, and if planted in the 
open ground, it will be well to have the spot

Single Tulip. 
a little higher than the bed or border. French 
Ranunculus, 25¢e. per doz. 
Scilla peruviama. These are green- 
house bulbs at the North, but here they are 
hardy, and do well in the open ground. There 
are two varieties—the blue and the white. They 
erow up a shoot, on the end of which the 
flowers appear, forming a truss. Plant from 
October till January. 25 cents each. 
Tulips. Double and single Tulips thrive 
better in a more Northern latitude than this, 
but some years they flower well here, and as 
they are cheap, a few flowering bulbs will pay 
Tuberoses, double flowering.
