r AUL J. HOWARD takes pleasure in presenting now 
this wonderful collection of a rare class of lovely flowers. The Tree 
Peonies will bring a new delight to the ever increasing number of 
garden enthusiasts who love to grow flowers of startling beauty— 
flowers that will excite the wonder and admiration of all who behold 
them 
Unlike the common or herbaceous Peonies, the Tree Peonies do not die com¬ 
pletely down each winter, but grow into shrubs or bushes 3 to 5 feet high, and are 
perfectly suited to California climatic conditions. 
The Tree Peony is native to the Orient, where much hybridizing has been prac¬ 
ticed, producing huge flowers of amazing beauty, while some of our finest varieties 
have come from France. True garden aristocrats, they will never become common¬ 
place because of the difficulty in obtaining stock. 
We offer a wonderful collection of 2 and 3 year old blooming-size plants. 
Some are full double, others semi-double, both forms are equally striking.

scarlet with waved petals. Exceedingly
