PRIZE PEONIES FOR FALL PLANTING 
A selection made NOW assures a special pick of the strongest roots • ■ • We Ship our Peony Roots in September 
Always plant Peonies in the fall, for the roots are then in prime condition. They 
grow well in any good garden soil. Care should be taken to keep manure a few inches 
away from the crowns of the plants, except the first winter, when a coarse mulch an 
inch or more deep may be placed directly over the plants to prevent the frost from 
heaving them. It is not necessary to fertilize rich soil. In poor soil, the manure 
should be kept 10 inches from the surface, and well mixed with the subsoil; after plant¬ 
ing, apply manure to surface, as previously advised. Never allow manure to come in 
contact with the roots, as it rots them. Set roots 2 feet or more apart and cover top 
eyes not more than 2 to 3 inches; deep planting often results in blind growth. 
Our Peonies are extra-strong field-grown roots (not divisions) 
Official ratings of the American Peony Society are given where available.
