This picture shows part of a block of 6,000 Tree Roses on our Clifton Farms. Growing this type 
of Rose to perfection requires four years. Each one is a specimen “Tree” and all will be dug this fall. 
There are comparatively few grown in the United States, so the demand has always exceeded the 
supply; this year will be no exception. (Photo made Aug. 1, 1943.) 


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. 
There 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 herbaceous 
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 frve 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 
indicated, 8 to 10 years old. All our dormant, nursery-grown Tree Peonies should pro- 
duce 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. 
Beauty” 
Order this Fall for Spring Delivery 
HILE Tree or Standard Roses are 
not generally planted in the fall, 
except in the middle and far 
South, by all means place your order now 
for these four reasons: 1st, the supply, not 
only here but with other nurserymen, is 
very limited so we know there will be 
disappointments if you delay until spring; 
2d, you get the pick of our crop when 
ordering now, even though delivery in 
most cases will not be made until spring; 
3d, the present low price is not guaranteed 
for spring, 1944; 4th, all Tree Roses are 
dug and stored in December in our huge 
winter buildings, which enables us to 
reserve orders in January and February 
for shipment in March, April, and early 
May, depending on your latitude. Permit 
us to use good judgment in this respect.

Roses we offer at $3.50, less
