I ree Peonies (Paeonia Moutan) 
These differ from the herbaceous by forming a shrub grow¬ 
ing a little higher each year until they reach a height of four 
to/.five feet. The flowers are large and of the most delicate 
tints and shades. They bloom two to three weeks earlier than 
the (’hinensis section. They are perfectly hardy, but the buds, 
which develop very early, should be protected from severe frost 
or freezing after they start to swell. Plant them where they 
will be sheltered by other shrubbery or up close to a building, 
fence, etc. See third cover page of this book for a single 
specimen plant of Tree Peony. They are magnificent.
