HARDY HERBACEOUS CHINESE DOUBLE 1VEONIAS. 
VARIETIES OF ALBIFLORA. Plants supplied from October to March. 
The flowers, which are produced in June, are large and handsome, varying in colour from pure whites and 
blushes, to roses and the deepest crimsons, while most of them are deliciously rose-scented. The ornamental and 
massive foliage in addition, renders these Hardy Poeonias attractive plants for the herbaceous border or to 
intermingle with shrubs. They are of simple culture, succeeding in any ordinary garden soil. The flowers are 
greatly valued for cutting, as they travel well, and last long in water. 
Culture. — T rench the ground before planting, as deeply as possible, adding abundance o\ 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 
PfflOny 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.
