HARDINESS AND CARE OF THE TREE PEONY 
Tree Peonies are perfectly hardy wherever the Lilac thrives. They often stand 
temperatures of 15 to 25 degrees below zero. It is advisable however to avoid windy 
locations and to protect the early bloom buds from late frosts. 
Mulching is advisable the first winter after transplanting. 
PEONIES 
THE FINEST IN THE WORLD AT VERY LOW PRICES 
Our collection of nearly 200 Peonies fairly bristles with quality. 
Fine Peonies, because of their all-around dependability, their sturdiness, their 
exquisite beauty and delightful fragrance, have a peculiar fascination for flower 
lovers. Wherever the ground freezes at some time during the winter peonies can 
be successfully grown. It is the ideal flower of the north where few perennials 
survive. Nearly all of the varieties in this list are real Peony aristocrats. 
Prices are for standard divisions with three to five or more eyes.
