GD iy Ubi - Chinese Tree pectic’ 
One of the choicest plants available for the garden. Quite hardy, and 
does well under the simplest treatment. It flourishes in the most aston- 
ishing manner, bearing blossoms from 6 to 8 inches across, which increase 
every year in beauty and size. A grand addition to the garden, as they do 
not die down to the ground like the herbaceous sorts, but make fine bushes 
3 to 4 feet in height, covered every spring with elegant flowers. 
Culture. It is advisable to avoid wind-swept locations and to protect the 
early bloom buds in case of late spring frocts. The south or east side of a 
planting of evergreens, shrubs, wall or building, is a very good location for 
Tree Peonies. Mulching is advisable the first winter after transplanting. 
Apply mulch of light material after ground is frozen solid. Any good, weil 
drained garden soil is satisfactory. Never cut back woody branches.

raceful (Anemone- Flowered Peonies 
A type not very generally known, but awakening great interest and enthusiasm. The opened flowers are of extra 
wide spread, with one or more layers of broad guard petals which act as a cup to the mounted center. In place of 
the pollen-bearing stamens, the stamens and anthers are greatly enlarged into narrow, thick, twisted petaloids of 
various colors, forming a dense cushion. They produce an enormous amount of flowers, creating a riot of color in 
the garden and are superb for cutting, lasting longer than the double flowers.
