Tree Peonies 



Aristocrats of 

 the Garden 



Tree Peony, Josephine Seneclauze. Flowers 6 in. across 



Tree Peonies are rare in America and necessarily 

 expensive because of the difficulty of propagating them. 

 They are shrubs that grow 3 to 6 feet high and as much 

 across, and produce their huge, satiny flowers early in 

 the season long before other Peonies open. The amazing 

 beauty of these plants, with their gray-green foliage 

 and almost incredible flowers, excites the wonder and 

 admiration of all who behold them. 



BEAUTE DE TOKIO. The huge, satiny flowers are 

 brilliant purple, semi-double, center filled with a mass 

 of golden stamens. 4-yr.-oId plants, $10 each, prepaid. 



JEANNE D'ARC. A late variety of glistening rose- 

 pink, fully double, and exquisitely shaped. Four- 

 year-old plants, $10 each, prepaid. 



JOSEPHINE SENECLAUZE. Midseason. Clear 

 shell-pink flowers of many petals. Four-year-old 

 plants, $10 each, prepaid. See illustration. 



REGINA BELGICA. Light pink flowers with a mass 

 of golden feathery stamens. Two-year-old plants, 

 $5 each; four-year-old plants, $10 each, prepaid. 



SOUV. DE MAXIME CORNU. The fully double, 

 sweetly scented flowers are deep, glowing yellow, 

 heavily shaded with orange and salmon. One of the 

 most remarkable Tree Peonies ever seen. During 

 the past four years offered from $35 to $65 each.
