PEONIES 
Peonies may be planted in any good garden soil, not too shaded, and the buds 
should not be covered more than two inches. Bone meal may be used about them 
and some complete commercial fertilizer applied with caution. 
A stock of the more expensive varieties is not kept in storage for late spring 
planting, so any orders for them which come too late for spring digging will be held 
till September, which is the best time for planting Peonies. 
The figures after the price of each variety is its rating by the American Peony 
Society, and is made on a basis of 10.0 being perfect. The prices are for standard 
divisions of 3-5 eyes or buds. Other sizes furnished on this basis.
