GENEVA, NEW YORK 
TREE PAEONIA 
PEONY 
TREE OR MOUTAN CLASS 
Handsome flowering shrubs, attaining from 3 to 4 feet in height, with proper care. The flowers are remarkably 
beautiful and striking, very numerous and enormous in size, often measuring 6 to 8 inches across, and appear in May 
and June. Although hardy, the plants are greatly improved by a slight protection in winter. 
HERBACEOUS CLASS 
Paeonies should be planted in good rich, deep, moist soil after which they require less attention than any other 
class of flowering plants. 
They are perfectly hardy and their remarkable freedom from disease and insects make them most desirable. 
Some of the varieties are of enormous size, perfectly double and deliciously fragrant. In color the Pseonia rivals 
the Rose in beauty ranging from pure white to darkest red and the shades of pink are truly magnificant. Paeonies thrive 
in all locations whether in the broad sunlight or in partial shade. 
Our blocks attract hundreds of visitors every year.
