SPLENDID CHINESE HERBACEOUS DOUBLE P2EONIES. 



These are varieties of Pseonia Sinensis, with the exception of No. 66 and 

 97. They are mostly very fragrant, and form the most brilliant append- 

 age of the garden at their season of flowering, which is in June and July. 

 They are of the most easy culture, prefer a northern exposure, and will 

 support the severest Canadian winters, the most of the species being 

 natives of Siberia and Chinese Tartary, and none of them from warm lat- 

 itudes. We supply blooming roots, and not mere slips, such as are fre- 

 quently sold, and the prices are much below the usual rates, our stock 

 heiug by far the largest in the Union.
