HARDY HERBACEOUS EUROPEAN DOUBLE P/EOMAS. 
Plants supplied from October to March. 
The Poeontas enumerated under this heading are very old inhabitants of our gardens, but at the present day 
are not so generally known as their merits deserve. Few flowers in May equal in brilliancy of colour the old 
Double Red Paaony. 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 verv 
attractive, 3 
Cultural treatment the same as for the Chinese Paonias. 
Double Red Paeony, rich crimson, very large flowers abundantly produced 
Double Rose Paeony, flowers open full rose and pass off flesh colour , 
large and fine 
Double White Paeony, flowers open pale pink a?id pass off pure white ,

what irregular, an cssthetically shaped flower

HARDY HERBACEOUS SPECIES & VARIETIES OF SINGLE P/EONIAS. 
MAY and JUNE-FLOWERING. Plants supplied from October to March. 
The species and varieties of Single Pseonlas 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 have very large poppy-like flowers, others, flowers not unlike water-lilies, while others, again, have 
comparatively small flowers. On the whole, a more interesting class of plants for flower border decoration it 
would be difficult to find. 
Cultural treatment same as for Chinese Double PcBonias.
