TREE PEONIES 
Our stock of these splendid shrubby Peonies is the 
largest in America 
The Japanese varieties are the most beautiful, but the most diffi¬ 
cult to grow on account of suckeriug. The European varieties ate 
grafted on herbaceous roots and do not sucker. Tree Peonies do not 
die to the ground in winter, but in time make quite large, shrubby 
bushes. There is a record of a plant in England that produced over 
500 tlowers at a time. The flowers are distinct from the herbaceous 
varieties, and are of a wonderful size and beauty. They are pro¬ 
duced early in the spring, and are sometimes injured by late frosts. 
If the Japanese varieties are planted, care must be taken to remove 
all suckers that are produced below the graft

HERBACEOUS PEONIES 
It gives us great pleasure to see the increasing popularity of Peonies, for there is nothing more deserving, and when the merit and 
beauty of the newer varieties are known every garden will contain a large collection. Like the Irishman’s whiskey, all varieties of Peonies 
are good, even the commonest old-fashioned sorts, but there is no language to describe the glorious beauty of the finest of the newer varie¬ 
ties. In no other flower has there been such a marked improvement, and they actually surpass the finest rose in size, form and coloring, and 
their ease of culture and extreme hardiness are too well known to enlarge upon. Always having a keen appreciation of these superb flowers, 
we have for years collected all the varieties obtainable in the world, and now have the largest collection of varieties and the most extensive 
stock in America. Peonies planted in August or September will bloom the following season. Of many varieties offered in the following list, 
we can supply large undivided clumps at from three to five times the prices quoted—prices depending upon how many salable plants the 
clumps would make if divided. By planting these undivided clumps a fine* display of flowers can be had next season.
