HARDY HERBACEOUS EUROPEAN ROUBLE P EOM1S. 
Plants supplied from October to Marcli. 
The Pmonias enumerated under this heading are very old inhabitants of our gardens, but at the present day 
are not <o generally known as their merits deserve. Few flowers in May equal in brilliancy of colour the old 
Double Red Pffiony. The Double Rose is exquisitely beautiful, and the Double White, when in bud, presents 
the most delicate pink colour. The Anemone-flowered, like the Cactus Dahlia, has unequal petals, and is very 
attractive. 
Cultural treatment the same as for the Chinese Peconias.

HARDY HERBACEOUS SPECIES & VARIETIES OF SINGLE P/EONIAS. 
MAY and JUNE-FLOWERING. Plants supplied from October to March. 
The snecles and varieties of Single Paeonias offered in the following list are new to gardens, although 
not new introductions, and we recommend them as fine border plants, possessing considerable character and 
diversity in foliage and habit of growth ; some are tall with a fine bold outline, others dwarf and bushy , 
some liavc very^large poppy-like (lowers, others, flowers not unlike water-lilies, while others, again, have 
comparatively small blowers. On the whole, a more interesting class of plants for flower border decoration it 
would be difficult to find. Cu i tura i treatment same as for Chinese Double Paonias.
