OFFICINALIS ALBA — (Mutabilis.) White striped with pink. 
Tree Peonies 
This is a remarkable species, developed from Peony Mouton, 
a native of China and Japan. In habit of growth it is not un¬ 
like a deciduous shrub—the growths are short and stocky, the 
plant eventually attaining a height of four or more feet and 
of large circumference; the foliage is quite handsome, and the 
immense flowers, which usually appear some two weeks ahead 
of the herbaceous class, are most remarkable for their im¬ 
mense size and gorgeous colorings. Splendid for grouping 
or for specimen plants on lawns. While a hardy plant, it will 
be found desirable to give it some protection in very cold 
latitudes. All shoots springing from the base should be rubbed 
off. We offer any color desired, our choice of varieties only, 
at 85 cents each ; $9.00 per dozen. 
ALPHABETICAL LIST OF PEONIES 
You may order by the number preceding the varieties or by name, or, better still, in ordering use both number and name.
