Which to Plant 
Our list of Tree Peonies now available follows. Descrip¬ 
tions are intentionally modest and limited because every 
variety is desirable and beautiful. Effusive descriptions would 
be merely so much reiteration. All you need do is select the 
color you prefer, with the assurance that your garden will 
be graced by what will probably be your most-prized garden 
possession. 
There is no practical difference between the bloom season 
and growth-rate of these varieties except that Moutan is 
exceptionally early and most rapid growing while the yellows 
are the very last to bloom and the slowest in growth. 
Tree Peony Prices 
Do not accept price as the criterion of beauty but rather 
as based upon the supply available. If you derive satisfaction 
from exclusiveness, the “yellows” may be worth $1,000.00 
to you because there are hardly 100 plants in the United 
States today, but a price of $50.00 does not necessarily 
claim that they are ten times as beautiful as $5.00 sorts— 
only that they are much scarcer and much harder to produce 
and that deep yellow is an otherwise unattainable color in 
Peonies. 
Tree Peony prices are based entirely upon supply and not 
on size of plants or respective merit of bloom. Moutan and 
Iro-no-Seki are the best “buys” on the 1934 list since our 
prices are based on adequate stock. All plants are returnable 
at our expense if in any way unsatisfactory. 
Large, Strong Plants 
The following prices apply on 2- to 4-year-old plants which 
have already bloomed in our nursery. Many of them are 
“parent” plants which have been cut back for propagation 
purposes. If they appear stubby when received, remember 
(a) that you are receiving a “parent” plant; (6) that cutting 
back produces bushy plants; (c) that the stubbiness will 
disappear when spring growth develops; (d) that the roots 
have been unmolested and will produce that many more 
bloom-sprouts for next spring; (e) that there will be no loss 
of time or bloom because, whether cut back or not, the shock 
of transplanting most any plant does not permit bloom the 
same spring it is received.

Specimen Moutans 
Moutan blooms are single, exotic, vivid purple-red, with 
crepe-paper petals and golden stamens in the center. The 
earliest, most vigorous, and most free-blooming 
of all Tree Peonies. 
Moutan is the Wild Tree Peony of Thibet and 
is easier to propagate than its hybrid descendants. 
With us, it now exists in ample quantity as part 
of our ambition to make Tree Peonies available 
to average gardens. Our stock is the largest in 
the Occidental world and we offer them in speci¬ 
men sizes, accordingly. 
These specimens are 6 to 10 years old and have 
borne from 20 to 100 blooms each. They will 
produce equal and improving results for custom¬ 
ers after one summer’s root-growth, following 
transplanting. All specimens are heavily rooted 
and heavily branched. Prices include careful 
packing. 
Tree Peony, Moutan has been the “Emperor’s Flower and King of Flowers in 
China since 600 A. D. It is now available to the average American garden at the 
lowest prices ever applied 
2 to 2^-ft. specimens at $6.00 each 
2 x /l to 3-ft. specimens at $7.00 each 
3 to 3)^-ft. specimens at $8.00 each
