R. & J. FARQUHAR COMPANY, BOSTON. PERENNIAL PLANTS. 
PEONIES 
Pezonies 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 planting 
is a frequent cause for shy flowering. 
The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flowering.
