Peonies 
BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS FOR 
DECORATION DAY 
Peonies are absolutely hardy and when once 
established will take care of themselves, mak- 
ing larger plants and producing greater num- 
bers of flowers each year. There has been 
wonderful development in these flow- 
ers and the new varieties are far 
superior to those of ten years ago. 
The flowers are much larger and the 
variety of color is : much greater. 
Plant them as early in the spring as 
possible, from five to six inches deep 
and from two to three feet apart. 
Be sure to put some well rotted ma- 
nure or other fertilizer in the bottom 
of each hole. Press the ground carefully around, the 
roots, being careful not to break the crowns. Should 
the spring be very dry, water them a few times to 
promote a healthy growth of foliage, which is neces- 
sary to insure perfect blooming.
