EVER SEE A TREE PEONY? 
Our stock of tree Peonies is grown 
from root divisions,- not from cut- 
tings or grafts grown in the green- 
house. Strong, sturdy, reliable. You 
may order and plant these with/ 
assured results. By express, prepaid! 
Tree peonies differ from the usual 
type of peonies in that they bloom 
earlier than the others and have a 
woody stem. Our offering in tree 
peonies is limited to one variety 
known as Banski. It is semi-double, 
lilac rose and free flowering. Three 
year clump at $38.00. Two year 
clump at $2.00. Root division, large 
enough for planting, $1.00. The 
larger plants will bloom sooner than 
root divisions. Height of tree peonies 
at maturity is between three and 
four feet. 

“A seed is just 
As huge a world 
As any ball 
The sun has hurled.”

SINGLE PEONIES HAVE AN 
APPEAL OF THEIR OWN 
The flowers consist of five or 
more true petals arranged around a 
center made up of stamens and pol- 
len-bearing anthers. They are not in 
competition with double peonies or 
Japs for a place in your garden. 
They possess distinctive merit and 
should not be overlooked.

WHEN OLD PLANTS 
REFUSE TO BLOOM 
Here is a question we frequently 
hear:- 
“T have a peony in my garden 
that has not had a bloom on it in 
seven years. What is the matter 
with it?” 
Our reply usually is as follows:- 
“There are three probable causes 
why peonies fail to bloom. 
1. “Peonies planted in the spring 
usually refuse to blossom. 
plant peonies in the fall. 
2 “If you transplant peonies be 
Planting 
an entire clump without dividing the 
roots is very much the same as 
planting an entire ear of corn in a 
hill instead of only a few kernels. 
If a peony requires transplanting or 
moving divide the root system in 
about three pieces. Otherwise it may 
fail to blossom. 
3 “Deep planting of roots is a 
common mistake. Plant the root 
divisons so the eyes or buds are an 
inch and a half below the surface 
of the ground. A depth of two in- 
ches is not too much, but a depth 
of four inches is way out of the 
question.”
