Bed of Peonies 
The Peony with all of its perfection of form and beauty 
of coloring has quickly progressed from obscurity to a 
preeminence second only to the rose. The peony flowers 
during late May and June, its blooms are very lasting 
when cut and in most cases are exquisitely scented. Plant 
Peonies during the fall or spring, fall being the best tirfle. 
Peonies should be planied 2 to 3 ft. apart in deep, rich, 
well prepared soil, covering the buds with about one to 
two inches of soil. Do not expect much of them the first 
year, as they are slow in establishing themselves.
