1 /- each, 10,/b per dozen. 
Paeony Arborea (Tree Paeonies). 
These are distinct from the Herbaceous Pa'onies, having a different habit of growth, and pro- 
ducing flowers of immense size in many lovely shades of colour not found in the last-named section. 
They may be grown in pots for Greenhouse or Conservatory decoration, or outside in warm, 
sheltered positions. The plants are unite hardy, but the delicate blooms, which are produced in 
May. reipnre ])rotection from strong winds and late frosts. 
Six lovely varieties, selected from Japanese coloured drawings, with colours attached, for 15/- 
and 21 /- ; 2/6 and 3/6 each. 
Probably the most important point, in the culture of all the plants in this list, is deep 
cultivation. The site for a herbaceous border should be trenched, but the bottom spit should 
not be brought to the surface ; it should be turned over and left quite rough and loose in the 
bottom. Manure should always be mixed with the top spit of earth, as the work is done. It is 
usele.ss to expect fine heads of flowers, without manure. .Additions to existing borders 
should be prepared similarly, that is with deep stirring and manuring of the soil. If the border 
has too much weed on, to be dealt with by hoeing, turning the surface over with the spade is 
an unavoidable evil, great care should be taken to dig as shallow as possible, or many surface 
roofs will be cut off and the growth and bloom in the following year injured. The hoe is the 
tool for the herbaceous border and it should be used weekly for a time in Spring.
