special Mention 
I would call especial attention to my block of named 
Paeonies, as I have now a very nice stock and assortment of 
choice varieties, from the earliest to the latest, so that the sea- 
son of continuous bloom last year was from the middle of May 
until about July 1st— a very fine show indeed.
