(TREE PEONIES). 



^^HESE immense beautiful and well known flowers form another source of Japanese pride. 

 JL We open every year in April, the Annual Peony Show in our i^ardens, when we 

 exhibit more than 5,000 plants of different colours, which attract a great deal of attentic n and 

 surprise thousands of visitors. This handsome hardy shrub throws its flower-buds earh' and if 

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

 therefore it is advisable to select position where the influence of the sun's ra}' is n( t felt till after 

 10 or 1 1 o'clock a.m. and net exposed too much to heavy winds, therefore a pc sitic n amcng.^t 

 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 

 plant is grafted on the single purple stock and care should be taken to rub ( ff all grc wth from 

 the stock 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.
