“KING OF FLOWERS” 
_.. Sree PEONIES 
Paeonia suffruticosa. Tree Peonies do not make trees; really make tall shrubs. They differ 
from the well-known herbaceous group because the tops do not die back to the ground every 
season. About six inches of woody new growth is retained each year. Do not prune until 
mid-winter when the extent of the permanent growth is obvious. 
Tree Peonies originated in China and are among the oldest plants in cultivation. They were 
cherished by the Buddhist monks, who called them ‘’King of Flowers’’. Peonies have a wide 
range of colors. Ours will have already produced at least one set of flowers before being of- 
fered, and will be labelled with the color, ranging from white, through pale pink, rose pink, 
rose red and dark red. The price determines the age of the plant and quality of flowers. Please 
give first and second choices of colors when ordering. 
Tubbed plants for delivery after February Ist: Each $15.00, $12.50, $10.00, $7.50. 
Planting and Care: Dig extra large holes and mix well-rotted manure with topsoil filled in 
around plant. Use peat mulch on surface. Feed with well-balanced commercial fertilizer after 
flowering season and again in January. Spray with Volck and Bordeaux mixture in dormant 
season and keep slugs and snails off new growth. Tie up succulent shoots to prevent breaking 
in wind. 

Location: Tree Peonies enjoy full sun and are not critical about type of soil as long as they 
receive regular applications of fertilizer.
