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 Pzeonies, June, 1913. 



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

 they then make a root growth before AVinter and bloom next 

 Spring, thereby gaining a whole year, as Spring plantings wiH 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 obsers-e is not to plant too deep. The roots 

 should be planted so that the eyes vnll be 2 to 3 inches below the 

 surface. Too deep planting is a frequent cause for shy flowering. 



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