Peony seed germinates slowly, but if one has patience, 
That is the chief requisite, for otherwise 
ceous (sometimes called Chinese) Peonies, botanically 
Paeonia albiflora. Of course not all the seedlings will be

Averaging this and that together, we are pretty apt to

Variety 
names in Pansies count for but little, it is the amount of 
selection work, and the results of that work as shown in 
the flowering of the individual strain that we should pay 
for, and those are precisely the points upon which the re- 
liable grower bases his price. It works almost automatic- 
ally, the larger the Pansy-bloom, the fewer the seeds that 
are yielded. We offer values here that are fair, both to you

autumn, with bonus of flowers during even mild periods of

double, an effect enhanced by the curled and undulate mar- 
gins. The colors are brilliant and varied, running mostly 
to richer tones, and usually with a contrasting spot on each
