CHINESE HERBACEOUS 



. . . PAEONIAS. 



{Ready in October.) 



\i[E herewith offer some of the newest and most beautiful 

 WW varieties in cultivation. These noble plants are exceed- 



\ ingly effective; the profusion and duration of bloom, 

 combined with handsome massive foliage, accommodating habit 

 and easy culture, render them one of the most popular hardy 

 plants grown for lawn and garden decoration, or for mingling 

 with shrubs or herbaceous plants in borders and wild gardens. 

 The flowers are large, massive, perfect in outline and most 

 beautiful. 



The best effect in gardens is to be obtained by planting 

 solitary plants at intervals, or by grouping in the lawn. 



In parks large groups may be used as a foreground to shrubs 

 and trees, or as large masses in beds on the lawn. 



As cutting material the Chinese Paeonias can scarcely be 

 surpassed, and no flower surpasses them when a loose arrang- 

 ment is wanted in a large vase. Each flowering stem produces 

 from three to five flowers. 



These Chinese herbaceous Paeonias are perfectly hardy and 

 do not want to be removed before the fourth year, autumn 

 being the best planting time.
