Burgess’ Choice Peonies 
at Reduced Prices 
Chinese Peonies are very desirable on account of their large 
size, fine colors and profuse blooming. They are perfectly hardy, 
and will succeed in any ground unless so wet the water stands on 
the surface in the winter and spring. May be planted either in 
the autumn or spring. Avoid planting too deeply, as this is often 
the cause of shy blooming; 2 inches of soil over the crown (eyes) 
being sufficient.
