The best time for [ilauling Peonies is in earl\- Sep- 

 tember, but they can be planted in perfect safety until 

 the end of October or in early spring. Early fall plant- 

 ing, however, gives the best results. .\ deep, rich, well- 

 manured soil ■should be pi.isiilcd. ii-^iiiK thoroughh"

 be not more than 2 or .5 nuhes Irom the siirlaie when 

 the soil is finned. As tlie Peony, when established, is 



a robust s;t..\\>r. at least 3 feet of space should be

 Peonies have all been grown in the nurseries from one
