Peonies 
The culture of peonies is very easy and it does not require 
any certain soil, either -sandy or heavy will do. The earth 
must be spaded deep. A little manure mixed in would not hurt. 
After your ground is in shape, plant the roots from 2 to 3 feet 
apart, covering the crown only 1 to 2 inches. Then give them 
plenty of water for best results. The best of the many varieties 
are those mentioned below:

Dahlias 
Our dahlias are of the finest 
quality and selection. 
Culture. Pick a sunny spot if 
possible and spade well; do 
not use too much manure, for 
a small quantity goes far with 
the dahlia; then lay the root 
on its side about 4 inches from 
the surface. In covering, be 
sure to have the soil packed 
firmly about the tuber or 
roots; plant only when the soil 
is dry, then water sparingly.
