vigorous in growth, and exceedingly floriferous ; the flowers, which 
are large, arc of a bright rose color, having the centre filled with 
narrow petals of a deep golden yellow, with a band of crimson 
running through the centre of each. It is really a facsimile of a

and one deserving the widest cultivation. $1 each.

age ; one of the showiest and most attractive singie varieties in 
cultivation. 75 cents each. 
Tree Paeonies. 
“ P^EONIA moutan.” 
These are really magnificent hardy plants, but rarely seen. They are perfectly hardy and of easy culture, but slow 
and difficult to propagate, so that they will never become common. Last spring I counted fifty-six flowers on a plant three 
feet high, each flower seven inches across. They will in time grow to be quite large shrubs, six to eight feet high. 
Named Varieties. In six best sorts, $1.50, $2.00 and $3.00 each, according to size. 
Banksii. One of the oldest sorts, but one of the best; very large fragrant flowei s; rosy blush, with purple centre. $1.00, $r.50, and 
$2.00 each, according to size.
