FARQUHAR'S GOLD-MEDAL P>EONIES. 



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

 Display of Paeonies, June, 1913. 



Paeonies 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 lime of flowering.
