C.-P. Selected Peonies 



For permanent plantings, no flower can surpass the Peony for massive, showy blooms, and quantities 

 of them from each established plant. They grow well, even in shady locations, and the flowers increase in 

 size and beauty for two or three years after the roots are transplanted. Peonies make glorious cut-flowers and 

 are fine when a mass effect is wanted for indoor decoration. 



Colors range from snow-white to deepest maroon. We have many more varieties but we offer only the 

 best. We are members of The American Peony Society.
