No class of flowers has attracted of late years a greater degree of attention in Europe than this. Being natives of the tem- 

 perate, and in some cases of the frigid zones, they will sustain the winters of all parts of the TJ. States. Their period of bloom- 

 ing is in May and June, and the flowers of most of the species and varieties are very splendid, presenting a magnificent display, 

 and a great variation in size, form, and color, and many of the varieties are highly perfumed. The new varieties recently 

 brought to notice are of surpassing beauty, and belong mostly to the Chinese species. They have been obtained at great 

 expense and cost ; in many instances, $5 to $12 each. But very few of them are comprised in any other American collection, 

 and there is but one collection in Europe equal in extent to the present one. Their culture is of the simplest kind, as they 

 will flourish in any ordinary garden soil ; a rather firm sandy loam is preferable. The prices are fixed at much below the 

 usual rates, and a discount will be made where a large number is desired. The Tree Pa?onies are a distinct class, and form 

 strong woody stems, which usually attain three to four feet in height, and in time five to six feet. They form in a few years 

 large spreading shrubs, composed of numerous stems rising from the ground and moderately branched. Their flowers are of 

 surpassing splendor. But three varieties are found in most collections, the other varieties being yet very rare. Our climate 

 suits them admirably, and we have succeeded in producing a number of remarkably splendid seminal varieties, which are 

 comprised in the ensuing list.
