WATSONIA. 
These fine ornamental bulbs require the same cultural treatment as the early flowering Gladiolus. They 
are very decorative, and should be associated with the Gladiolus for flower border decoration.

I O 
HARDY CHINESE P^ONIAS. 
It would be impossible to conceive of a more decorative herbaceous border plant than the Chinese Pceony. 
It is of stately growth, with a profusion of large handsome flowers, the colours ranging from the purest white to 
the most intense crimson-magenta, and, like the Rose, all are more or less sweet-scented. A bed of these 
Pceonias, associated with Lilies and Gladiolus, and an edging of the Plantain Lilies (Funkia glaucescens 
variegata) would be matchless.
