PARRY NURSERIES 
SIGNAL MOUNTAIN, TENNESSEE 
SPECIAL OFFERING OF TREE PEONIES AND HERBACEOUS PEONIES 
Words cannot do justice to the magnificence of the tree peony - aristocrat of shrubs. Its 
exquisite lacy foliage makes the tree peony a beautiful specimen plant even without’ the 
glorious blooms of crepe-paper-like texture, ruffled and crimpled on the edges of the 
petals. The name “‘ Tree Peony” is somewhat misleading, as it is really a shrub, attaining 
a height of four to five feet. Plants have been known to produce as many as four hundred 
magnificent flowers in one season, measuring from 9 to 12 inches in diameter, and coming 
into bloom earlier than the herbaceous peony. We are happy to be able to offer this favor- 
ite of the millionaires, ‘‘ The King of Flowers” , which was considered almost sacred in the 
Imperial Gardens of the Chinese Emperors, at a price the millions can afford. 
The following prices are for 5 to 6 year old shrubs, field grown, sizes varying according 
to variety. These field-grown plants cannot be compared with 5 to 6 inch pot-grown plants 
sometimes offered at a lower price. Cultural directions included with each shipment.
