PEONIES—Double Flowered ARVISTA Gardens 
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 
Cd 
Our collection of nearly 200 Peonies fairly bristles with quality. 
Fine Peonies, because of their all-around dependability, their sturdiness, their 
oceans of flowers of 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.
