BARR’S HARDY DOUBLE CHINESE PEONIES. 
These magnificent June and July flowers are large and handsome, varying in colour from pure white 
to blush , rose, pink , and bright and deep crimsons , while most of them are deliciously rose-scented. The 
Ornamental and massive ioliage combined with the great masses of flowers, rival in effect the finest 
Rhododendrons in beds or in herbaceous borders or intermingled with shrubs. The flowers are valuable for 
cutting, they travel well, and last long in water. Clumps of Daffodils and Lilies, especially Auratum, Speciosum, 
and Tigrinum should invariably be associated with them, as the one flowers before the Paeony and the others 
flower later.
