Ideal Dingee Flowers for Fall Planting 

 HERBACEOUS PEONIES 



The Very Best Time to Plant Them Is in the Fall 



Peonies, after once being planted, require little attention and care, thrive almost 

 anywhere, and are absolutely hardy everywhere. They do best in good, rich soil and an 

 open, sunny position, but this is not absolutely necessary. During the growing season 

 they like an occasional, liberal supply of water. They are not troubled with insect pests 

 and, after once becoming firmly established, will take care of themselves, increasing in 

 size and beauty every year.
