HERBACEOUS HARDY JUNE-FLOWERING CHINESE DOUBLE PAMIAS 
( Varieties of Albiflora). 
These noble plants compete favourably in general effect with the finest hybrid Rhododendrons, whether it 
be in variety of tint, diversity of colour, profusion or duration of bloom. With these qualities, combined to a 
handsome, massive foliage, accommodating habit, and easy culture, you have a plant to occupy the place of, or to 
associate with, the Rhododendron. These Pceonias succeed in any ordinary garden soil, and are equally adapted 
to intermingle with shrubs, or to take their place amongst herbaceous plants in flower borders and wild gardens. 
The first flowers are large, massive, and most perfect in outline, the secondary flowers are smaller, very neat, 
and beautiful ; indeed, it would be difficult to conceive a more decorative and generally useful plant, rivalling in 
effect the Rhododendron, and possessing the symmetry and fragrance of the Rose. As a cut flower it is of great 
value, travels admirably, and supplies the utmost variety of shade and colour, from snow-white to the most 
intense crimson. See coloured plates in The Garden, 1880 and 1881 . 
Culture. — Trench the ground before planting, as deeply as possible, adding abundance of rotten manure , 
■and then mulch the surface with manure. In Summer, if convenient, give a plentiful supply of liquid manure 
twice a week to encourage a rapid development, as the plant is decorative in proportion to its size. The 
Paeony may be planted in any position, but, considering that the flower buds are formed early in Spring, it is 
preferable to grow the plants where the sun's rays do not fall upon them in Spring earlier than 11 or 12 o’clock. 
9&T The editor of The Garden (Mr. William Robinson) suggests beds of Paeonias, associated with Lilies 
and Gladioli, and edged with Plantain Lilies ; the best and most massive of the plain-leaved Plantain Lilies are 
Subcordata grandifiora for light green, Sieboldi for a blue-green, and Ovata for a dark green foliage ; and of 
the variegated-leaved kinds, Viiidis marginata, silver-edged, and Glaucescens variegata, golden-variegated foliage.
