the choicest, and should be largely planted. Their flowers resemble gigantic single 
roses, and are shown to fine advantage against the handsome foliage of the plant, 
while their range of color, from white through shades of 
purple and red, renders them particularly attractive. But 
little praise is necessary for the double varieties, as their 
great beauty is generally recognized. 
Herbaceous Peeonies. 
It remains, how- 
ever, to note that 
few people are 
aware of the im- 
mense range of 
color that is com- 
prised in this 
class. The pure 
while forms and 
the light and 
deep pink forms 
are well known, 
but the colors also 
range through 
shades of purple 
and most intense 
crimson, and in- 
clude the most 
double and semi- 
double types ot 
Howers. All are 
easily raised in 
ordinary garden 
soils, Any un- 
usual attention 
given, by provid- 
ing the best of 
soils and liberal 
fertilizer, is well repaid by additional returns in size and abundance of bloom. 
Prices, except where noted, 80 cts. each, $4 per doz.
