We endeavor to send out only strong 3- to 5- eye divis- 
ions. On occasion, however, a two-eye division is the best 
available. _These will be sent out unless we are instructed 
otherwise.” 
ALL ORDERS FOR $4.00 OR MORE WILL BE SENT 
POSTPAID ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES. 
— PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS — 
Peonies may be planted in spring or fall and should be 
ylanted three or four feet apart in a good, well-drained 
soil, in sun or partial shade, and away from roots of trees 
and shrubs. Plant the eyes not more than two inches be- 
neath the surface, and in a hole large enough to accomo- 
date the roots without crowding. Dirt in the bottom of 
the hole should first be firmed so that the roots will not 
settle. Mix a handful of bonemeal with the dirt around 
each root. This is usually beneficial to the plant, but not 
necessary. When planting in the fall, make a six-inch 
mound of earth over the newly-planted roots and remove 
the same in early spring. Ordinarily peonies do not like 
an acid soil. 
TREE PEONIES 
Tree Peonies are a low, many-branched shrub, growing 
three to four feet high, bearing giant-sized flowers in many 
colors. They have been grown in the Orient for centuries, 
where they gained the name “The King of the Flowers.” 
The sparkle and beauty of tree peonies in full bloom are 
beyond description. They are beautiful, rare and hardy, 
and many are fragrant.

We are expecting to import about one hundred named 
varieties of tree peonies from the Orient this fall. Since 
these have not bloomed in our garden we are unable to 
guarantee them to be true to name. We are, therefore, 
offering them as mixed varieties only. They will be small 
plants which were grafted on herbaceous peony under- 
stock last fall. 
They come in shades of white, pink, red and purple, and 
we will try to send colors of your choice. 
We offer them for sale to you as follows: $3.00 each, 
$8.00 for three and $24.00 for ten.
