Single Japanese P;eony. 



P^EONIA TENIJIFOEIA. 



Interesting and handsome, not only on account 

 of their rich crimson flowers, which resemble in 

 color the Gen. Jacqueminot Rose, 

 but the fine, feathery foliage makes 

 "them a handsome ornamental plant, 

 even if they never produced a flower. 

 Always scarce and much sought after. 

 Double=flowering, 25 cts. each ; 



$2.50 per doz. 

 Single=f lowering, 25 cts. each ; 



$2.50 per doz. 



PACHYSANDRA. 



Terminalis. A trailing plant, grow- 

 ing 6 to 8 inches high, forming 

 broad mats of bright, glossy green 

 foliage and small spikes of flowers during 

 May and June. A choice cover plant, and 

 mainly valuable on account of its foliage. 

 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



PAP AVER (Poppy). 



'Orientate (Oriental Poppy). Nothing can 

 equal these in gorgeous effect, and, whether 

 planted singly or in masses, their large flowers, rich 

 brilliant colors and freedom of bloom render them 

 conspicuous in any position. (See cut.) We offer 

 them in mixed colors. 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz.; 

 $10.00 per 100. 

 Nudicaule (Iceland Poppy). These range in color 

 from the purest white and yellow to the deepest 

 orange-scarlet. The plants form tufts of fern-like 

 foliage, from amongst which the slender flower-stalks 

 rise to about a foot in height, and bear elegant cup- 

 shaped flowers. The profusion of blooms which 

 they produce is really astonishing, often a hundred 

 i3ower stems on a single plant, and they are pro- 

 duced from the beginning of June to October. 

 (See cut.) Mixed colors. 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per 

 doz. 



- PARDANTHtS (Blackberry Lily). 



Sinensis. Lily-like flowers of a bright orange color

 are followed in September with seeds which resem- 

 ble blackberries. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz. 



JAPANESE SINGEE- 



FLOWERING PEONIES. 



No other plant flowering at the same season can vie with the 

 Single Pseony for beauty, and an established bed, when in full 

 bloom, with the large, silky flowers measuring frcm 6 to 7 inches 

 across, and appearing like immense single Roses, is simply gor- 

 geous. (See cut.)

JAPANESE TREE P^EONIES. 



The Tree Pseonies (P. JiJoutan) differ from the herbaceous va- 

 rieties in their growth, which is in the form of a dwarf shrub; 

 they are equally free-flowering, and commence blooming about 

 three weeks earlier than the double herbaceous sorts, and while 

 also perfectly hardy they are benefited 

 by slight protection through the win- 

 ter. The varieties enumerated below 

 have been selected from a large col- 

 lection, and will be found very in.
