TREE PiEONY. 
The Tree Pacony bears flowers in form like the com¬ 
mon Paeony, but they are light pink or blush in color, 
and the plant, instead of dying down to the ground 
every winter as our common herbaceous Paeonies, is a 
small, hard-wooded shrub, bearing its branches above 
the ground during the winter.

ANEMONE. 
Anemone Japonica alba 
is the best hardy, white 
blooming, autumn flower¬ 
ing plant we have. It is 
plain looking during the 
summer, with dark green 
foliage; but in the latter 
part of summer flower 
stems appear, growing 
eighteen inches high, with 
white flowers. It bears 
from a score to a hundred 
flowers, continuing to im¬ 
prove until destroyed by 
frost. The flowers are 
more than an inch in 
diameter. 
Anemone Japonica alba, each, . 20 
Coronaria is of low growth, and flowers in early 
summer. The roots are somewhat like the gin¬ 
ger root in appearance, and will be found des¬ 
cribed in the Flower and Vegetable Garden,

AQUILEGIA. 
The Aquilegias grow freely' from seed, and may be 
obtained in that way at little cost, but a good many 
people would rather pay a little more and have flowers 
the first season. To all such we can furnish good roots.

ASTILBE JAPONICA. 
The Astilbe or 
Spira; Japonica 
is a very pretty, 
dwarfish plant, 
with delicate, fea¬ 
thery' trusses of 
very small flow¬ 
ers that are really' 
elegant, and ex¬ 
ceedingly useful 
for all ornamental 
work. It is also 
one of the best ot 
plants for the flor¬ 
ist to force for 
winter flowers, 
and an excellent house plant, being pleasant in both 
foliage and flower.

CALYCANTHUS. 
The Calycanthus, or Spice Shrub, as it is often called, 
is one of the sweetest of our hard-wooded shrubs. 'l‘he 
leaves are slightly fragrant, the bark and flowers exceed¬ 
ingly' spicy. The plant makes a bush several feet in 
height; is hard wooded, the leaves large, and the flowers 
abundant, and of a brownish or cinnamon color.
