Pseonia (Peony) 
In planting this fine old favorite, provide a good soil, 
deeply dug and enriched with well-decayed manure to 
which a sprinkling of bonemeal should be added. The 
fertilizer should not come in direct contact with the 
roots, and the plants should be set just deep enough to 
cover the crowns. While the large two-year plants 
offered should bloom the first season, it requires from 
two to three years before the flowers will appear in their 
true form.
