PEONIES 



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 inche.s below the surface. Too deep planting 

 is a frequent cause for shy flowering.
