(TREE PEONIES) 



THESE immense beautiful aud well known flowers form another source of Japanese pritlc. 

 We open every year in Aprils the Annual Peony Show in our gardens, when we exhibit 

 more than 5,000 plants of different colours, which attract a great deal of attention and surprise 

 thousands of visitors. Tliis handsome hardy shrub throws its flower-buds early and if these arc 

 frozen and in this condition the sun's rays fall upon them they are more or less injured, there- 

 fore it is advisable to select position where the influence of the sun's rays is not felt till after 10 

 or 11 o'clock a.m. and not exposed too much to heavy winds, therefore a position amongst 

 .shrubs or under a west or north wall may secure the greatest amount of success. The plant is 

 a greedy feeder and should have abundance of horse or cow dung given to it annually. The 

 ])lant is grafted on the single purple stock and care should be taken to rub off all gro^vth from 

 the^tock and remove all suckers from time to time. As a pot plant it is handsome but after 

 flowering it should be planted out to mature its growth.
