But now bitter winter comes, snow is on the paeony hill, the hosts of evil are abroad.

In this district also such flowers as herbaceous paeonies, Spanish irises, German irises, Christmas roses, lilies of the valley, chrysanthemums, foxgloves, hollyhocks, wallflowers, carnations, &c., are extensively grown in many market gardens.

In the natural order Ranunculaceae, some genera, such as Ranunculus, globe-flower and paeony, have both calyx and corolla, while others, such as clematis, anemone and Caltha, have only a coloured calyx.

About 400 seedling paeonies flowered again this year.

Speaking generally, the flowers of the French section resemble the chrysanthemum, and those of the German the paeony.
