BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS MEAN SO MUCH—YET COST SO LITTLE 
GORGEOUS PEONIES 
From America’s Peony Capital 
The Peony is the ideal flower for the 
Northwest, as it is absolutely hardy and 
even the rose cannot excel it in color¬ 
ing, beauty and fragrance. 
Culture—Set the roots so that the eyes are 
2 to 2 l /t inches below the stir face. Press 
the soil down firmly, being careful not to 
injure the buds. Allow a spacing of 3 feet 
between the plants. Peonies prefer an open 
sunny position. 
We offer strong field-grown stock with 
3-5 eye divisions.
