(TREE PEONIES) 



'"JpHESE immense beautiful and well l^nown flowers form anotlier source of Japanese 

 pride. We open every year in April, the Annual Peony Show in our gardens, when we 

 exhibit more than 5,000 plants of different colours, which attract a i;rcat deal of attention 

 and surprise thousands of visitors. This handsome hardy shrub throws its Hower-buds early 

 and if these are frozen and in this condition the sun's rays fall upon them they arc more or 

 less injured, therefore it is advisable to select position where the influence of the sun's rays 

 is not felt till after 10 or 11 o'clock a.m. and not exposed too much to hea\y w inds, there- 

 fore a position amongst shrubs or under a west or north wall may secure the greatest amount 

 of success. The plant is a greedy feeder and should have abundance of horse or cow dung 

 given to it annually. The plant is grafted on the single purple stock and care should be 

 taken to rub off all growth from the stock and remove all suckers from time to time. As a 

 pot plant it is handsome but after flowering it should be planted out to mature its growth. 



Our collection of best assorted varieties $28.00 per 100 plants.
