SPLENDID CHINESE HERBACEOUS DOUBLE PiEONIES. 



These are varieties of Pajonia Sinensis, witli the exception of No. 97. 

 They arc mostly very fragrant, and form the most brilliant appendage of 

 the garden at their season of flowering, which is throughout the month 

 of June. They are of the most easy culture, prefer a northern exposure, 

 and will support the severest Canadian winters, tlie most of the species 

 being natives of Siberia and Chinese Tartary, and none of them from 

 warm latitudes. We supply blooming roots and not mere slips, such as are 

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

 being, by far, the largest in the Union.
