PEONIES 
T he Peony bears the first bii? flower crop of June, and is a 
close rival of the Rose. Peony blooms are very lasting when 
cut, and in most cases are exquisitely scented. 
Tlie best time to plant Peonies is just now. Plant 2 
to 3 feet apart in deep, rich, well-prepared soil, covering the 
eyes but an inch or two. First crop the second year. 
Please note that our prices (unlike some competi- 
• tion) are delivered to you without extra cost!
