 a brilliant scarlet — a color almost unknown in the

PAEONIAS OFFICINALIS 



This is among the hardiest and most popular species 

 of the extensive Paeonia family, and is one of the com- 

 monest to be found in gardens, and the first to flower ; 

 also very sweet-scented. The varieties offered below 

 are the most typical, and beautiful for either massing 

 in borders or as individual specimens.

JAPANESE TREE PAEONIAS 



Tree Pa;onias, unlike the Chinese 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 purple, including all the 

 shades of crimson and pink. Double and semi-double 

 varieties, in 12 sorts, specially selected for me by a 

 friend in Japan, consisting of the best varieties in com- 

 merce. 75 cts. each, set of 12 varieties for {7.50, $60 

 per 100.
