Tree or Moutan Class 
Peonies 
Handsome flowering shrubs, 
attaining from 3 to 4 feet in 
height, with proper care. The 
flowers are remarkably beauti- 
ful and striking, very numerous 
and enormous in size, often 
measuring 6 to 8 inches across, 
and apf)ear in May and June. 
Although hardy, the plants are 
greatly improved by a slight 
protection in winter. 
Herbaceous Class 
Peonies should be planted in 
good, rich, deep, moist soil, after 
which they re<iuire less atten- 
tion than any other class of 
flowering plants. They are per- 
fectly hardy and their remark- 
able freedom from disease and 
insects make them most desir- 
ai)le. Some of the varieties are 
of enormous size. perfectly 
double and deliciously fragrant. 
In color the Peony rivals the 
rose in beauty, ranging from 
I)ure white to darkest red, and 
the shades of pink are truly 
magnificent. Peonies thrive in 
all locations whether in the 
broad sunlight or in partial 
shade. Our blocks attract hun- 
dreds of visitors each year.
