(Ready in September) 
The Peony roots offered by us are vigorous flowering sized clumps of from 3 to 5 eyes. Peonies 
are gross feeders and the ground in which they are planted cannot be too heavily fertilized. 
The best time to plant is September 1st to freezing. The crowns should be planted from 2% to 
3 inches below the surface of the soil.
