TREE PEONIES 
(Paeonia Arborea) 
These are the aristocrats of all peonies. With woody stems, 
the plants attain a height of over five feet anda similar spread, 
and show colors unknown inthe Chinese classes. They bloom gen- 
erally earlier than the latter, and are very free flowering. This 
collection represents perhaps the finest assortment available to- 
day. However, due to recent labor conditions, propagation has 
been curtailed. 
This season we offer a limited list by name in 2 year plants 
from 5 in. pots. We hope to be able to offer field plants in another 
year or so. 
Tree Peonies will be shipped express collect only.
