FARQUHAR'S GOLD-MEDAL PtEONIES. 



Pseony. Baroness Schroeder. 



The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 

 was awarded to R. & J. Farquhar & Co. for a Display of Paeonies, 

 June, 1913. 



Pffionies 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 folloiving the name indicates the relative lime of flowering.
