PEONIES. 



Pseonies require a rood 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 ^vill be 2 to 3 inches below the 

 surface. Too deep planting is a frequent cause for shy flowering.
