J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



PAEONIA. 



The most beautiful of all Hardy Herbaceous 

 Plants, rivaling the Rhododendrons in the mag- 

 nificence of their bloom. They are of the easiest 

 culture, as hardy as the hardiest, and thrive in any 

 soil. For cutting, no flower is richer or more deco- 

 rative. The Pajonia excels as a garden flower. 

 We have now all shades of color from the purest 

 white to the most intense purple, in blooms of 

 immense size, exceedingly double and sweetly 

 scented. Planted in masses, there is no other plant 

 that will make such a magnificent display of color.
