P/EONIES. 
Few plants are so deserving of general favour as the various 
types of Pieonies, and they succeed in almost any situation. 
The flowers are of marvellous beauty and great substance, and 
represent the finest self colours as white, pink, blood-red, crim- 
son, and purple, whilst others are spotted and shaded. They are 
excellent for planting on the front side of shrubberies, and when 
several are planted together the effect is superb. They bloom 
in May and June.

DOUBLE TUBEROSES. 
The.se produce long spikes of double pure white flowers, ex- 
ceedingly fragrant and invaluable for bouquets. The value ot 
ihe Excelsior Pearl over other varieties consists in its flowers 
being of double the size, imbricated like a rose, and its dwarf 
habit, growing only from 18 to 24 inches in height. The bulbs 
should be potted firmly in rich loamy soil, and plunged in bottom 
heat, care being taken that the temperature does not fall below 
60 degrees.
