DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING. 



Evergreens must be handled with care, so as not to allow the roots to become dried 

 by the wind. Plants for hedges being generally set when quite small, should be placed 

 about 9 inches apart — larger sized plants will require more space. 



Honey Locust and Osage Orange are generally planted in double rows, about 9 

 inches apart. 



PRUNING. 



Evergreens should be pruned in spring, just before they commence growing. 

 Summer pruning may be practiced on the Arbor Vitce should the growth be too rapid.

P^EONIA. 



Pseony. Pivoine en Arbre, Fr. 

 Class I.-PJEONIA MOUTAN. TREE P^EONIES. 



P. Moutan, the parent species, is a native of China. The varieties are handsome 

 flowering shrubs, attaining from 6 to 8 feet in height, in about 10 years, with proper 

 care. The flowers are remarkably striking, of gorgeous colors, very numerous, and 

 enormous in size, often measuring 6 to 9 inches across. All are very effective amongst 

 shrubs, or on the margins of borders. Although hardy, the plants are greatly improved 

 by slight protection in winter.
