Cusk PEONIES 



FOR YOUR GARDEN 



y 



'^ 



Peonies require a deep rich soil and should be planted with the 

 eyes about an inch beneath the surface. To each root we recom- 

 mend a pound of bonemeal at planting time, mixing this well with 

 the soil. September and October are the best months for planting, 

 although roots may be planted as late as the first of November. A 

 cover of manure or MuIch-0-Nure is recommended for the first 

 winter. All plants are 2-year stock.
