TREE PEONIES 
This is a remarkable species, developed from Peony Mouton, 
a native of China and Japan. In habit of growth it is not unlike 
a deciduous shrub—the growths are short and stocky, the plant 
eventually attaining a height of four or more feet and of large 
circumference; the foliage is quite handsome, and the immense 
flowers, which usually appear some two weeks ahead of the herba- 
ceous class, are most remarkable for their immense size and gor- 
geous colorings. Splendid for grouping or for specimen ‘plants 
on lawns. While a hardy plant, it will be found desirable to give 
it some protection in very cold latitudes. All shoots springing 
from the base should be rubbed off.. We offer any color desired, 
our choice of varieties only, at $1.25 each.
