Wentworth Hardy Peonies 
N O flower grown by man has been blessed with such colorful large blooms, 
such luxurious dark green foliage, and still requires so little care as the 
Peony. 
CULTURE 
First of all, Peonies may be planted in almost any ordinary garden 
soil and in almost any place but it is better not to place them too 
near trees or large shrubs as these tend to drain the soil of moisture 
as well as rob the Peony of a few hours of sunshine. 
Never plant a root so that the eyes are more than 2/ 2 inches be¬ 
low the surface of the ground; 2 inches is the most satisfactory 
depth. Too deep planting is one of the commonest reasons for 
failure to bloom. 
The best times for planting are from early September until freez¬ 
ing time. 
When planted in groups. Peonies should be spaced about 3 feet 
apart. 
Most losses of young plants are due to heaving of the ground, 
caused by alternate freezing and thawing. We, therefore, suggest 
for at least the first winter, your covering the plants over with straw 
or leaves. 
Peonies are remarkably free from diseases and blights. The ants and other 
bugs, that swarm about the buds, are merely after the honey that oozes out 
of the tight buds. 
We have listed below our Peony stock, accompanied by helpful notations 
as to color, price, etcetera. Our shipments are all three- to five-eye divisions 
They are always true to name.
