Rare Chinese Tree Peonies 
For a long time we have wanted to offer these. But this spring is 
the first time we have enough plants to catalog them. The tops 
of these Tree Peonies live just like hardy shrubs and do not die 
back to the ground like the ordinary Peonies. Grow 3 to 4 feet 
tall and bloom in the spring. The flowers are large, 6 to 8 inches 
across. Plant them in a sheltered spot such as the east or south 
side of a wall, hedge, shrub or evergreen planting. A mulch of 
Neutral Peat (see page 33) winter and summer is beneficial. 
Mix a liberal amount of this Peat with the dirt when planting 
them. Do not trim off the branches as that will take away just 
that much of next spring’s flowers. We do not advise planting 
these north of central Iowa. These Tree Peonies are for the 
gardener who wants something rare, a connoisseur’s delight. 
Give them a little extra attention such as in case of late spring 
frost protect them. You will be greatly rewarded. We send you 
Potted plants. Take them out of pots when planting. Generally 
they bloom the second year after planting.

INTER-STATE’S GIANT PEONIES 
These are the regular bush peonies, the tops die down over winter 
and then come up again each spring, for a lifetime. Last fall we 
sold so many thousands of Peonies that we do not have enough 
left to offer them by name. So we have just grouped them by 
color, Red, Pink and White. There is not one which is worth less 
than a dollar and some would cost up to $5.00 by name.
