plants very oruamental even when out of flower. The newer varieties produce very larg-e, handsome, regularly 

 formed cupped blooms i-esenibling- larg-e roses. No other flower is so well adapted for large, showy bouquets. The 

 Pseony may be planted either singly on the lawn or in borders. Where the lawn is extensive a large bed makes a 

 grand show, surpassing a bed of Rhododendrons. It is really a flower for the million. We place them in three 

 divisions : first, the Officinalis and its hybrids ; second, Paradoxa. These are European, and bloom from the middle 

 to the end of May. The thii-d is Chinese, and blooms through June and July. A selection from the three divisions 

 will give a fine display of flowers during three months. Our collection has been made with great care and includes 

 the best and most dUbnct varieties.
