FARQUHAR'S P/EONIES. 



{The figure following the name indicates relative time of flowering) 



SEPTEMBER is the best month in which to plant Pseonies, as they then 

 make a root growth before Winte.' and bloom next Spring. 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. 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.
