Tree Pæonies.  Pæonia Arborea.
This beautiful group of shrubs is among the oldest of introductions from Japan, but magnificent new varieties have been added from year to year until we have a long list of wonderful forms.  They are quite distinct from the herbaceous section, and have shades of color not found in the latter; and when once established form compact bushes, which in spring are covered with the gigantic blooms.  These pæonies are a little tender in exposed situations north of Boston; but if planted in a sheltered, warm location, and protected during the first two winters by a covering of pine boughs, or other loose material, will eventually establish themselves, and form one of the most decorative features of the garden.  Like the herbaceous kinds, they enjoy rich soil, and the blooms last longer and come finer when partially sheltered from the hot sun.  They are well worth the little trouble entailed in their cultivation.  We can offer strong plants of the leading and most hardy kinds; but as they are slow and difficult of propagation, this fact will account for their relatively higher cost over the herbaceous kinds.  Having secured a large stock of these beautiful plants, we are enabled to offer them at lower prices than ever before.  2 year plants, 75 cents each; 3 year plants, $1.00 each.
Roseolens Odorata.  Flower finely formed, lively rose salmon.

Chinese Tree Pæonies. — Pæonia Moutan.
These are the most splendid and showy of all flowering shrubs, and among the most rare.
The flowers are mostly fragrant, and all are double, unless denoted otherwise.  They are perfectly hardy, and will withstand the winters of our most northern States and the Canadas.  They bloom in May, ten to fifteen days before the Chinese Herbaceous varieties.
The following are imported varieties.  We can supply extra size plants of most of the varieties, at a moderate advance in prices.

Tree Pæonies.
Among the choicest hardy shrubs, the Tree Pæony and its numerous varieties stand preeminent.  By the labors of the French and Belgian cultivators, many new varieties have been produced, of remarkable beauty, and distinct in their character.  A larger part of these have been added to our collection, and yearly accessions will be made till all are added to our list.

Sur le jardin d'expériences de la Société; par M. JACQUES, sous-directeur....
M. Masson , votre jardinier, a eu une idée que j'ai adoptée avec plaisir, c'est de planter les talus en divers arbres ou arbustes de collection et d'ornement, ou ayant besoin d'être observés ; nous en avons reçu de plusieurs personnes, notamment de mon neveu et notre collègue, M. Verdier père, qui nous a offert tout ce dont il a pu disposer, ce qui forme une collection assez considérable, comme vous pourrez vous en convaincre par la liste ci-dessous.
