LOUIS, MO. stems, while a few others appeared about two feet away; these have all grown vig- orously and are now just coming into bloom. The flowers are usually solitary and terminal, but occasionally the more vigorous shoots produce two and even three blossoms each. The flowers are of bright yellow color, two and one- half inches in diameter, with six to ten petals, and numerous short stamens of the same color as the petals, and in the center of which are three small green car- pels. The leaves are ternatisect, of soft texture, a foot or more in length and about the same in breadth, and more or less glaucous both above and below. For the introduction of this lovely plant into European gardens we are indebted to the Abbe Delavay, who dis- covered it in the mountains of Yunnan, S. China, in 1882, and who sent seeds home to the Jardin des Plantes. Part of the young stock came into the hands of Lemoine, of Nancy, who worked up a stock and introduced it to commerce. From an account of this plant which appeared recently in an American paper, it is stated to graft readily on the roots of the herbaceous peony. I have not tried this method, but have several times endeavored to work it on to those of P. Moutan, but without success. It will no doubt prove to be a useful plant to the hybridist on account of its color, and may be the progenitor of a new race of peonies. In the note which accompanies the figure in th'e Botanical magazine, men- tion is made of the interesting fact that double and single forms occur in both the wild and cultivated state. The Kew specimen has so far only produced single flowers. Canadian Horticultural Association.
