TREE PEONIES IN THE LANDSCAPE 
Tree Peonies are especially beautiful when massed in front of 
groups of Evergreens. We also recommend them for planting 
between other ornamentals in the foundation planting. They do 
very nicely in semi-shade, but if planted near the roots of trees it 
is necessary to enrich the ground with well decayed stable fer¬ 
tilizer and later give them applications of bonemeal. Tree Peonies 
also lend themselves to planting in formal beds and as support 
for other plant material. In England they are used freely in formal 
gardens. 
TREE PEONIES FOR FORCING 
Unlike other types of peonies, Tree Peonies can be forced into 
bloom during the winter months. For this purpose they should be 
planted in tubs a year before they are to be forced. They can be 
had in bloom as early as January. We shall gladly furnish further 
information on the forcing of Tree Peonies.
