 they never produced a flower. Always 

 scarce and much sought after. (See cut).

Japanese Single-flowering 



Herbaceous Paeonies. 



As with many other single flowers, it has only been 

 in recent years that Single Pteonies have become 

 prominent. They really are of immense value. No other 

 plant flowering at the same season can vie with them 

 for beauty, and an established bed when in full bloom, 

 with the large flowers measuring from 6 to 7 inches 

 across, and appearing like immense single Roses, is 

 simply gorgeous. 



The collection of twelve sorts oftered below were 

 selected for us by a reliable Japanese house, and we 

 are assured contains the finest varieties in cultivation. 

 Apollo. Beautiful clear rose. 

 Crj'Stal. Pure white. 

 Diana. Blush, with creamy centre. 

 Exquisite. White, with yellow centre. 

 Neptune. A fine pink. 

 Opllir. Dark red.

35 cts. each ; $3.50 per doz. 



PiEONIA TeNUIFOLIA. 



Double Herbaceous Paeonies. 



The Herbaceous PLconies are exceedingly hardy, and 

 will succeed in any ordinary garden soil, well enriched 

 with good manure. During the summer months 

 mulching will be beneficial to the roots, especially on 

 dry soils. (See cut.) We offer a splendid assortment 

 in twelve varieties, viz : 



Agida. Brilliant red ; very free-flowering. 

 Caroline Allain. Beautiful blush, with sulphur 



centre and white tips.

PJEO^IA FESTIVA 

 MAXIMA. 



We consider this the best of all the 

 double-white Herbaceous Pseonies. It is an 

 old variety, but scarce, and have been unable 

 to offer it for some years. The plant is of 

 strong, vigorous, but compact habit, the 

 flowers of large size, pure white, with occa- 

 sionally a few scarlet flakes in the centre. 

 Strong roots, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



P^^ONIA 



OFFICINALIS. 



This type is one of the earliest to flower, 

 coming in fully a week earlier than the 

 general list of herbaceous sorts. We offer 

 3 distinct colors. All are strong growers and 

 produce very large blooms. 

 Rubra. Rich crimson. 

 Alba. Blush white. 

 Kosea. Pink. 



30 cts. each ; §3.00 per doz.; set of 3 varie- 

 ties for 75 cts.
