 out of doors they will commence blooming a month or more earlier than the later flowering varieties 

 planted at the same time.

Peonies 



The Peonies are hardy, and like some few other 

 things, get better with age. They need little or 

 no attention, and with proper planting will pro- 

 duce wonderfully. Peonies may be planted in Sep- 

 tember or October, or early in the Spring, and 

 should be planted liberally by every flower lover. 

 They can be planted either in rows, in beds, or 

 in single clumps, and will add greatly to the 

 general appearance of the home place. 



Spade the ground at least two feet deep, the 

 richer the better. Set the crowns three inches 

 below the surface. It is well to reset the clump 

 about every eight years, dividing the roots with 

 a large knife, leaving three or four eyes on each 

 piece.
