G2) tier Mevtar - Chinese Tree Peonies 
One of the choicest plants available for the garden. Quite hardy, and 
does well under the simpliest treatment. It flourishes in the most aston- 
ishing manner, bearing blossoms from 6 to 8 inches across, which in- 
crease 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 frosts. The south or east side 
of a planting of evergreens shrubs, wall or building is a very aood loca- 
tion for Tree Peonies. Mulching is advisable the first winter after trans- 
planting. Apply mulch of light material after ground is frozen solid. Any 
good, well drained garden soil is satisfactory. Never cut back woody 
branches.
