PEONIES 
Peonies may be planted in any good garden soil, not too shaded, and the 
buds should not be covered more than two inches. Bone meal may be used 
about them and some complete commercial fertilizer applied with caution. 
A stock of the more expensive varieties is not kept in storage for late spring 
planting, so any orders for them which come too late for spring digging will 
be held till September, which is the best time for planting Peonies. 
The figures after the price of each variety is its rating by the American 
Peony Society, and is made on a basis of 10.0 being perfect. The prices are for 
standard divisions of 3-5 eyes or buds. Other sizes furnished on this basis.
