The STORRS & HARRISON CO 
58 Hardy Perennial Plani: 
PEONIES 
The Peony bears the first big flower 
crop of June, and is a close rival of the 
Rose. Peony blooms are very lasting 
when cut, and in most cases are ex¬ 
quisitely scented. Plant 2 to 3 feet apart 
in deep, rich, well-prepared soil, cover¬ 
ing the eyes but an inch or two. First 
crop the second year. 
Spring planting of Peonies is prac¬ 
tical if done early, before the new 
shoots become too long. In spring we 
sell only the carefully stored stock pre¬ 
pared in September for fall delivery, but 
which did not completely sell out. 
As this copy is being prepared, the 
varieties listed below are the only kinds 
on hand in quantities large enough to 
be safely offered by name. However, we 
can profitably furnish most varieties 
listed in our last fall catalog, at listed 
prices. The special offers on this page, 
although not named, are genuine bar¬ 
gains and well worth taking on.
