FARQUHAR’S GOLD MEDAL PONIES. 
Peony. Baroness Schroeder. 
The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 
was awarded to R. & J. Farquhar & Co. for a Display of Pzonies, 
June, 1913. 
Peeonies 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 flewering.
