Chinese Tree Peonies

garden. 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 increase every year in beauty and size. They 
are a grand addition to the garden, as they do not die down to the 
ground like the herbaceous sorts, but make fine bushes 3 to 4 feet in 
height, covered every spring with elegant flowers. Pot plants may be 
sent and transplanted any time.
