FARQUHAR'S GOLD-MEDAL PEONIES. 



Ready in September. 



The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society was awarded to R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO. for a Display 

 of Pseonies, June, 1913. 



Pcconies 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 phmted so that the eyes wiU 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.
