TREE PEONIES^ The World's Royal Flowers 
S URROUNDED with Oriental mysticism and romance, 
Tree Peonies first were introduced to England and then 
came to America nearly 200 years ago. Fourteen centuries 
ago they were the exclusive property of the Emperor of China; 
death was the fate of the gardener who attempted to grow 
Tree Peonies beyond the palace walls. 
Today, Tree Peonies are the royal flowers of the world. 
They bring their charm and color to the humblest garden; 
they carry their regal glories to the largest estates. No longer 
are they the exclusive property of prince or potentate. 
Some American plants are more than 50 years old and 
bloom freely. Many Farr customers have reported a hundred 
blooms on one plant less than 25 years old. In Norfolk, 
England, an 80-year-old plant bears 400 blooms from 8 to 1) 
inches in diameter. Three-year-old plants may have 4 blooms, 
and 6-year-olds have had 25 blooms. 
For twenty years and more we have planned to pro¬ 
duce Tree Peonies at a price within the reach of all 
sincere gardeners. Now we have the plants, 4- and 5-year- 
old specimens, at less than half the prices prevailing from 
1914 to 1935. 
Tree Peonies prefer limed soil, good drainage, sunlight 
with partial shade to protect the blooms, and a lee from winter 
winds. Feed and cultivate the plants conscientiously and 
your Tree Peonies will be a source of pride and pleasure for a 
lifetime. Planting instructions are sent with all orders.
