Paeonia Arborea : Tree Peonies 
The Tree Peony is really one of the finest 
plants available for the garden or the conser¬ 
vatory. It is quite hardy, and does well under 
the simplest treatment. It flourishes in the 
most astonishing manner, bearing blossoms 
from 6 to 8 inches across, which will intfease 
every year in beauty and size. In colors, the 
flowers range from white to reddish black. 
The Tree Peonies are a grand addition to 
the garden, as they do not die down to the 
ground like the herbaceous sorts, but make 
line bushes 3 to 4 feet in height, being covered 
in the spring with elegant flowers. 
Two-year-old named varieties, $1.00 each, 
$10.00 doz.
