TREE PEONIES, continued 
Japanese ; This type produces large, broad'petaled flowers, the tips being 
crinkled with a crepe'paper'like texture and they have a central cushion of 
golden anthers which is typical of all Japanese Peonies. The foliage is cut 
finer and is narrower than European type. 
Yellow Lutea Hybrids (Lemoinei) : A new race of Tree Peonies has 
originated from the wild Tree Peony (P. lutea) crossed with other Moutan 
varieties, and referred to by some botanists as P. Lemoinei. They all have 
characteristics of the parent Lutea, which is yellow. Their color is quite 
different from any of the other Tree Peonies, ranging from a pure yellow to 
a yellow and red combination which is most attractive. They are hardy but 
slow to propagate, hence very rare. Of the few varieties of these hybrids 
we have the following to offer under this classification at the present time. 
SIZES OF SHRUBS 
The following prices are for strong 4 and 5'year'old shrubs that have 
already bloomed in our gardens. The size varies according to the variety, 
ranging in height from 12 to 24 inches, with several stems. We always send 
out the finest plants available in each particular variety.
