Class I.— PJEONIA MOUTAN. TREE PJEONIES. 



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 im- 

 proved by slight protection in winter.
