CHINESE PEONIES. 
The Paeonies arc perfectly hardy, and they will suc¬ 
ceed in any ground, unless water lies on the surface or 
near the roots in winter. They may be planted in the 
autumn or spring, and are increased by division of the 
roots. These divisions should be made either in the 
autumn, or very early in the spring, and not until 
the plant becomes large. In the South the Paeony 
grows well, but the buds often blast unless grown in 
partial shade, and liberally supplied with water. Our 
engravings show a plant in flower, and also a root. 
Plants, 25 cents each, and $2.50 a dozen. As we have 
a very large stock of about twenty of the very best kinds 
in cultivation, we will furnish one of each of a dozen of 
these varieties, of our own selection, for $2.00, and in all 
cases prepay postage or Express charges.

every winter as our common herbaceous Pseonies, is a 
small, hard-wooded shrub, bearing its branches above 
the ground.
