PEONIES 
"Furnished in the fall only. 
Plants should be set as soon as received, placing so that the 
huds will be about two inches below the leveled surface of the soil 
when planting is completed. The roots must be kept moist until 
planted. Plants set out very late should be mulched. 
In the open field or garden, like corn and potatoes, and with the 
same kind of care, peonies do famously. Where the soil is killed by 
elms, maples, or poplars, or is starved and dried out from other 
reasons, nothing can be expected of them. They also will not thrive 
in soggy ground.
