FARQUHAR'S GOLD-MEDAL PEONIES. 



The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society was awarded to R. & J. Farquhar & Co. 



for a Display of Paeonies, June, 1913. 



September is the best month in which to plant Paeonies. as they then 

 make a root growth befoer Winter and bloom next Spring, thereby gain- 

 ing a whole year, as Spring pla:ntings will not flower until a year later. 



They require a good rich, deep soil and an abundant supply of water 

 during the growing season. When enriching the ground the use of too 

 much fresh manure near the roots should be avoided. An important 

 point to observe is not to plant too deep. The roots should be planted 

 so that the eyes will be 2 to 3 inches below the surface. Too deep plant- 

 ing is a frequent cause of shy flowering. 



Of many sorts we offer 4-year clumps, which are likely to yield from 

 six to ten blooms the first season. 



The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flowering'.
