Which to Plant 
Our list of Tree Peonies now available appears on this page. 
Descriptions are intentionally modest and limited because 
every variety is desirable and beautiful. Effusive descriptions 
would be merely so much reiteration. All you need do is 
select the color you prefer, with the assurance that your 
garden will be graced by what will probably be your most- 
prized garden possession. 
There is no practical difference between the bloom season 
and growth-rate of these varieties except that Moutan is 
exceptionally early and most rapid growing while the yellows 
are the very last to bloom and the slowest in growth. 
Tree Peony Prices 
Do not accept price as the criterion of beauty but rather as 
based upon the supply available. If you derive satisfaction 
from exclusiveness, the “yellows” may be worth $1,000.00 
to you because there are hardly 100 plants in the United 
States today, but a price of $35.00 does not indicate that 
they are seven times as beautiful as $5.00 sorts—only 
that they are much scarcer and much harder to produce and 
that deep yellow is an otherwise unattainable color in Peonies. 
Tree Peony prices are based entirely upon supply and not 
on size of plants or respective merit of bloom. Moutan and 
Iro-no-Seki are the best “buys” on the 1937 list since our 
prices are based on adequate stock. All plants are returnable 
at our expense if in any way unsatisfactory. 
Large, Strong Plants 
The following prices apply on 2- to 4-year-old plants which 
have already bloomed in our nursery. Mar>y of them are 
“parent” plants which have been cut back for propagation 
purposes. If they appear stubby when received, remember 
(a) that you are receiving a “parent” plant; (b) that cutting 
back produces bushy plants; (c) that the stubbiness will dis¬ 
appear when spring growth develops; (d) that the roots have 
been unmolested and will produce that many more bloom- 
sprouts for next spring; (e) that there will be no loss of 
time or bloom because, whether cut back or not, the shock of 
transplanting most any plant does not permit bloom the same 
spring it is received.
