PEONIES 
This family of plants on account of its stately beauty 
of bloom in such infinite variety of colors is indispensable 
for every garden. They are perfectly hardy, requiring no 
protection whatever, even in the most severe climate, and 
once planted increase in beauty each year. 
Pjconies require a good rich, deep soil, and an abundant 
supply of water during the growing season. When en- 
riching the ground, the use of too much fresh manure near 
the roots should be avoided. An important point to ob- 
serve is not to plant too deep. The roots should be planted 
so that, the eyes will be 2 to 3 inches below the surface. 
Too deep planting is a frequent cause of shy flowering.
