HERBACEOUS PAEONIES. 
Within the past ten years this splendid section of hardy herbaceous 
llowering plants have been brought into very prominent notice because 
of the general improvement in varieties of comparatively recent ori- 
gin. fn these newer sorts, we have not only immense blooms reaching 
in some specimens seven or eight inches in diameter, but the range of 
color is also so varied that almost every tint of pink, white, red, crim- 
son and even some shades of yellow is comprised in the list. Plant 
vigor has also been improved and strong stems three feet long are not 
at all uncommon in some of the varieties. There is also an element of 
practical, permanent value in the Paeony: that is the plants once pur- 
chased and planted in suitable soil continue to increase in size and 
profusion of bloom for years with very little further attention; while 
they pay an annual dividend in the way of magnificent blooms that are 
unsurpassed for decorative purposes — 
I offer the following named sorts 
Compte de Paris, Pink and white, strong stem.
