Chinese Tree Peonies 
The Tree Peony is really one of the finest plants available for the 
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.
