HERBACEOUS PAEONIES 
Chinensis, Chinese Paeony 
It is surprising that so noble a flower, almost 
rivaling the rose in brilliancy of color and perfec¬ 
tion of bloom, and the rhododendron in stately 
growth, should be so neglected. Amateurs seem 
to have lost sight of the many improved varieties 
introduced within the last few years, and our 
finest gardens, perfect in other respects, are sin¬ 
gularly deficient in specimens of the newer kinds. 
The first point in their favor is hardiness. In the 
severest climates the plants require no other pro¬ 
tection than they afford themselves. Then their 
vigorous habit and healthy growth, freedom from 
PAEONIA FESTIVA 
all diseases and insects are important points in 
favor of their cultivation. Each succeeding year 
adds to their size and beauty.
