HARDY PERENNIALS. 
PAEON IA albiflora (P. Chincnsis). 
Chinese Peonies. Few hardy herbaceous 
plants are so suited to any position in gar¬ 
den or grounds as the Peony. The gor¬ 
geous display of flowers in their season is 
very effective, and the dark green foliage 
at all times is attractive. What better 
frontage for shrubberies, or in fact for any 
large plantation, than Pieoniasl They are 
also well suited to massing in beds by them¬ 
selves. Give the borders or beds a deep 
and thorough spading; yes, trench the 
ground, working in a liberal supply of the 
best decomposed manure, and again a top¬ 
dressing of the same in the spring. Avoid 
planting too deep ; an incli or so of soil 
over the buds is sufficient. Don’t expect 
too much of them the first year. They are 
a little slow in their growth, but after a 
couple of seasons, if they have been well 
cared for, you will have no reason for re¬ 
gretting the extra pains in setting. They 
bloom in June.
