PEONIES 
We have quite a large lot of peonies growing. The best time to plant peonies is in Septem¬ 
ber or October. If your order is received too late in the spring, we will hold it until fall and 
fill it at the proper time. Peonies do much better when planted in the fall and we do not 
recommend spring planting. Place your order now and we will send it at the proper planting 
time in the fall.

ROSES 
Every spring roses are becoming more popular. Anyone can grow roses if you have a 
good soil and take moderately good care of them. However, they delight in a clay soil. They 
do not do so well in a sandy soil. With proper fertilization they will do fairly well in any 
kind of soil. Bone meal is one of the best commercial fertilizers. Work it well deep in the soil 
becauses roses root deeply. 
All our roses are two-year-old, field grown stock.
