European and Japanese Tree Peonies 
We have a wonderful collection of these beautiful flowers, both 
single and double, but are not yet prepared to give them catalogue 
descriptions on account of the confusion in nomenclature. The 
Japanese growers have shipped several varieties under the same name, 
and this has caused much trouble.
