Tree Peonies- 
(Paeonia Arborea) 
“The King of Flowers” 
Including the Newest in Double Yellow 
Generally speaking the Tree Peony differs from the herba¬ 
ceous peony in that the stems of the Tree Peony are woody 
and the plant will attain a height of over 5 feet. 
Tree Peonies bloom abundantly throughout their long life. 
They are perfectly hardy. Complete planting directions may 
be had on request and will be sent with every order.
