PEONIES 
The Gorgeous Peony 
C ARE should be taken in planting the peony to set the roots with the eyes about 
two inches below the surface of the soil. Planting too deep will prevent bloom¬ 
ing though the plant may otherwise seem healthy. 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 most 
manures hut a little bonemeal and hardwood ashes worked into the topsoil will 
aid materially. 
Peony plants we offer are strong 3 to 5-eye roots of blooming size for $1.00 
a root, for the following: 
FESTIVA MAXIMA—Early white with 
inner petals slightly tipped carmine. 
Free blooming and fragrant.

large compact semi-rose type. Mirl-sea-
