HARDY DOUBLE EUROPEAN PEONIES, May-flowering'. 
The first three of these Pceonies are very old inhabitants of our gardens, and, at the present day, are being, 
like many other " Old Fashioned Flowers," very generally appreciated, and well they may, as few plants are 
so elegant in outline and so free-flowering and decorative as these old Double Red, Rose, and the White 
Europe/m Preonies. The White variety, when in bud, or partially open, is the most charming of pinks. 
In shady groves under tall trees, these European Paeonies thrive and are happy ; while in beds or as single 
specimens they are exceedingly effective. 
Cultural treatment the same as for the Chinese Pceonies.

BEAUTIFUL HARDY SINGLE EUROPEAN PEONIES, May & June-flowering. 
A more complete list of Single European Pseonies on application. 
The species and varieties of Single European Pseonies we cultivate are comparatively new to 
gardens, and some are new introductions. We can confidently recommend them as fine border plants, with 
considerable character in diversity of foliage and habit of growth ; some are tall with a fine bold outline, 
others dwarf and bushy ; some have very large poppy-like flowers, others, flowers not unlike water-lilies. 
A more interesting class of plants for flower border decoration it would be difficult to find. Their value is still 
further enhanced by their thriving under large trees, and thus capable of supplying the necessary floral display 
often wanting in shady walks, etc. Culture, any ordinary garden soil enriched with manure.
