: _ PEONY ROOTS 
(3-5 EYE DIVISIONS) 
Herbaceous peonies are one of the best perennials in every way. Blooms are large and 
showy without coarseness, and of excellent cutting quality. Foliage is attractive from 
spring until fall. Plants are completely hardy and last a lifetime. 
Peonies can be forced in the greenhouse for winter bloom. Clumps are dug in the 
fall, kept in a coldframe until needed, then in a 60 degree house will bloom in 6 
to 8 weeks.

TREE PEONIES 
(FROM 5” POTS) 
Long the favorite of Emperors of China, tree peonies adorned their gardens and in 
tubs graced their courtyards. Louis XIV had them in the gardens of Versailles; but 
they are a bit expensive for common use. How rarely we see one! On the grounds, or 
in tubs on the patio, they would be outstanding—something to admire and to show. 
A shrub rather than a tree, they attain a height of 5 to 6 feet and in time have 200 
blooms to a plant. The flowers are like herbaceous peonies, refined and beautiful, 
but usually larger, sometimes 8 to 10 inches across. The plants are entirely hardy and 
longlived. Can be forced for winter bloom in the greenhouse. 
These plants from 5” pots should bloom this year, certainly next. Shipped anytime.

CANNAS 
(2-5 EYE ROOT DIVISIONS) 
The summer evening band concert—the octagonal bandstand in the village park—and 
solid beds and borders of flaming cannas. 
Cannas went out with surreys, but have since been hybridized and glorified into tones 
ranging from ivory and yellow through rose and apricot to rich scarlet. Both the bold 
tropical foliage in green and bronze, and the great’ heads of vivid color make this 
cousin of the banana a handsome plant for bedding and background. 
Roots can be carried over the winter in the root cellar. These are 2 to 5 eye root 
divisions, each variety labeled, and shipped from Georgia until May first.
