FARQUHAR^S GOLD^MEDAL P/EONIES. 



The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society was awarded to R. 

 Display of Pseonies, June, 1913. 



CEPTEMBER is the best month in which to plant Paeonies, 

 as they then make a root growth before winter and bloom next 

 spring, thereby gaining a whole year, as spring plantings wiU 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. Tod deep planting is a frequent cause for 

 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 lime oj 

 flo'wsring.
