FARQUHAR'S GOLD^MEDAL P/£ONIES. 



The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society was awarded to R. & J. Farquhar & Co. for a 

 Display of Pseonies, June, 1913. 



CEPTEMBER is the best month in which to plant Pseonies, as 

 they then make a root growth before Winter and bloom next 

 Spring, thereby gaining a whole j^ear, as Spring plantings wiU not 

 flower ointil a year later. 



They require a good rich, deep soil and an abundant supply of 

 water during the gro'UTng 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 offer 4-year clumps, which are likely to yield 

 from six to ten blooms the first season. 



The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flowering.
