T3ree ^Peonies 
|Pceonia Arboreal 
Including the ?{ewe£t in Double Yellows 
Generally speaking the Tree Peony differs from the her¬ 
baceous Peony in that the stems of the Tree Peony are 
woody and the plant will attain a height of over 5 feet. 
Tree Peonies in general bloom earlier than the Chinese 
Peonies and they are very free-flowering. Amongst the 
Tree Peonies we also find colors unknown in the Chinese 
Classes. 
We have studied and propagated Tree Peonies fora good 
many years and the collection listed on these pages rep¬ 
resents what we have selected as the finest assortment 
available today. We like to draw your attention especially 
to the yellow varieties which still belong to the rarest ol 
all plants. 
SIZE OF PLANTS AND TIME OF SHIPPING— At 
prices quoted we supply strong two- to three-year-old 
plants. We carry most of our tree peonies in 5-in. pots so 
that they can be shipped at any time. Tree Peonies bloom 
when very young. Quite often we have flowers in one- 
year plants. It must be considered that tree peonies are 
grafted and that a two or three-year tree peony cannot 
be compared in size with a two- or three-year clump of 
the Chinese Peony.
