PAEONIES 
Paeonies are absolutely hardy, and after once 
being firmly established, will take care of themselves, 
making larger plants and producing a greater num- 
ber of flowers year after year. Their culture is 
the easiest, any good garden soil being fit for the 
development. Should there be a prolonged drought 
in the spring, water them a few times, as this will 
promote a strong, healthy growth of foliage, which 
is necessary to insure perfect blooming qualities. 
The following selected varieties have been chosen 
from hundreds of splendid sorts, and we can safely 
call them the "cream" of the best and most widely 
cultivated. All have been grown on Kansas soil 
for years, are thoroughly acclimated, and can, we are 
sure, be successfully raised by every garden lover. 
Time of blooming, May-June. 
CULTURE. Plant them from 5 to 6 inches deep, 
2 to 3 feet apart, putting some well-rotted manure 
in the bottom of each hole. Press the ground care- 
fully around the roots, being careful not to break 
the crown. Water the spots in the spring if the 
weather is dry.
