Tree Peonies (Paeonia Moutan) 
These differ from the herbaceous by forming 
a shrub growing a little higher each year until 
they reach a height of four to five feet. The 
flowers are large and of the most delicate tints 
and shades. They bloom two to three weeks 
earlier than the Chinensis section. They are 
perfectly hardy, but the buds, which develop 
very early, should be protected from severe frost 
or freezing after they start to swell. Plant them 
where they will be sheltered by other shrubbery 
or up close to a building, fence, ete. See fourth 
cover page of this book for a single specimen 
plant of Tree Peony. They are magnificent.
