One Tree Peony produces many of the most refined and unusual blooms imaginable 
TREE OR SHRUB PEONIES 
WELL-ESTABLISHED Tree Peony will attain a height of about 3 to 4 feet. 
Their shrubby and woody growth does not die down over the winter in sharp 
contrast to the herbaceous kinds. Their designation as Tree Peonies may be 
confusing to the inexperienced buyer so we compare them in growth habits to medium- 
or small-sized flowering shrubs. It is not unusual to hear of Tree Peonies 30 to 40 years 
old producing hundreds of perfect blooms every season. At least one or two of these 
true Peony Aristocrats should be in every garden. They are the first Peonies to bloom 
in early spring but the flowers are larger and more showy than those of the herba- 
ceous varieties. They have a firm, crepe-paper-like texture, ruffled and crimped on 
the edges of the petals. 
This fall we offer dormant plants at least four to five years old and every one has 
already bloomed in the nursery row. They are now about 12 to 18 inches high with roots 
of almost equal length. We can also supply specimens of certain varieties, where in- 
dicated, 8 to 10 years old. AII our dormant, nursery-grown T’ree Peonies should produce 
some fair-sized blooms the first year and in this respect are In no way comparable 
to smaller plants grown in 5 or 6-inch clay pots, which sometimes do not bloom for 
several years.
