A typical specimen of semi-double Tree Peony 
Tree or Shrub Peonies 
I'ree Peony blooms are larger and more showy than those of the herbaceous varieties. They are of a 
firm, crepe-paper-Iike texture, ruffled and crimped on the edges of the petals. 
They are the first to bloom in early spring; they precede the Chinensis or herbaceous doubles and singles. 
Their shrubby, woody growth does not die down over the winter. It is not unusual to hear of Tree Peonies 
30 to 40 years old producing perfect blooms every season. They are the true aristocrats of the garden. 
SIZE AND PRICES OF TREE PEONIES. Our prices are for mature plants at least four to five years 
old, and every one has already bloomed in the nursery row. They are now about 18 to 24 inches high, with 
roots of about equal length. We can also supply large specimens 8 to 10 years old that are very valuable. 
Small plants out of 5- or 6-inch clay pots that are sometimes offered for $2.50 to $3.00 are in no way 
comparable to the large nursery-grown plants we offer. Such quality Tree Peonies will be scarce for some 
time to come.
