The best time to plant Herbaceous Peonies is 
in the Fall, September and October. 
Our selection represents outstanding varieties 
only, early, mid-season and late flowering; our 
roots have from 5 to 8 eyes or buds and flower the 
first year. 
Tree Peonies, shrubs in character, are the first 
to bloom in the early Spring, followed by the Her- 
baceous Peonies. 
The flowers are larger than those of the Her- 
baceous Peonies and have a crepe-paper-like tex- 
ture, ruffled and crimped on the edges of the 
petals. 
A well established, mature bush is a truly 
breathtaking sight when in full bloom, growing 
three to four feet in height and spread and bear- 
ing Zo to 100 blooms: 
Plant in early Fall, avoid exposure to the 
North or West winds and protect the plants the 
first winter. 
Our shrubs are 4 to 5 years old and have 
bloomed. 
In the Western town of Cheng is a garden 
Shrining beauty as oysters shelter their pearls. 
There Paeonies open faint blooms 
Pearly and gray and mauve, languid with perfume.
