 a brilliant scarlet — a color almost unknown in the 

 Paeony. $3 each, $30 per doz. Quantity limited. (Sec-

JAPANESE TREE PAEONIAS 



Tree Pa;onias, unlike the Chintse and Officinalis 

 types, do not die down to the ground each year. They 

 make a hard-wooded growth, and in time become quite 

 large shrubs. The flowers range in color from pure 

 white to the darkest shade of purjile, including all the 

 sh.ides of crimson and pink. Dou' leand s mi-double 

 varieties, in 12 sorts, spei ially selected for me by a
