PEONIES 
Peonies improve in size and beauty of bloom and increase in the number of flowers 
produced for a number of years; in fact, they are among the most enduring of all 
hardy flower plantings. 
We recommend planting in October and early November. 
Orders for roots may be given during the blooming season, when satisfactory se¬ 
lections can be made.
