For several years we have offered the Japanese Tree 

 Pasonies, but after extended trials find that while exceed- 

 ingly handsome that the plants do not thrive as well as 

 could be desired, the stocks upon which they are grafted 

 seemingly not being suited to our severe climatic condi- 

 tions. We have, therefore, concluded to discard them, 

 and offer instead a collection of twelve of the best Euro- 

 pean sorts, such as we know will succeed with us. The 

 collection embraces the various shades of red, pink, rose, 

 purple, white, etc., etc. List of varieties and descrip- 

 tions will be sent on application, or selection can be left
