ROSE HILL NURSERY 
PEONIES 
C ARE should be taken in planting the Peony, to 
set the roots with the eyes about 2 inches below 
the surface of the soil. Planting too deep will pre¬ 
vent blooming 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. 
Peonies are gross feeders. Thoroughly decomposed 
cow manure or commercial fertilizer should be used 
but care must be taken not to have the fertilizer come 
into direct contact with the roots. 
We offer strong 3 to 5 eye roots at prices quoted. 
Also 6 to 8 eye, blooming size roots at double 
the price quoted after each variety.
