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. 



SEPTEMBER is the best month in which to plant Paeonies, as they then make a root growth before winter and bloom next spring, thereby 

 gaining a whole year, as spring plantings will not flower until a year later. 



They 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. 

 Of many sorts we oflfer 4-year clumps, which are likely to yield from six to ten blooms the first season.
