PAEONIA ARBOREA—TREE PEONIES 
Words cannot do justice to the magnificence of the tree 
peony—aristocrat of shrubs. To those familiar with its 
beauty and charm, your hearts have already been won, and 
you can easily understand why the tree peony was con- 
sidered almost sacred in the Imperial Gardens of the Chi- 
nese Emperors, and was the inspiration for poets and 
painters during China’s Golden era. To those not familiar 
with this distinctive plant, a rare treat is in store for you. 
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 hun- 
dred magnificent flowers in one season, measuring from 9 
to 12 inches in diameter. 
Its lacy foliage makes the tree peony a beautiful speci- 
men plant even without the glorious blooms of crepe-paper- 
like texture, ruffled and crimpled on the edges of the petals. 
So sensational was the introduction of the tree peony to 
Europe in the 17th Century, that single plants exchanged 
hands at between four and five hundred dollars each. There
