Peonies 
C ^ARE should be taken in planting the Peony, to 
a set the roots with the eyes about 2 inches below 
the surface of the soil. Planting too deep will pre¬ 
vent blooming though the plant may otherwise seem 
1 ealthy. Peonies do best in fairly heavy soil. If, 
therefore, your ground be very light and sandy it is 
advisable to incorporate considerable clay with it. 
Peony roots resent coming into direct contact with 
mod manures but a little bone meal and hardwood 
ashes worked into the top soil will aid materially. 
Peony plants we offer are strong 3- to 5-eye 
roots. 
Also 6- to 8-eye, blooming-size roots at double 
the price quoted after each variety.
