HOW, WHERE 
& WHEN TO PLANT 
12 Haantmrb double Peontes 
The Peony will grow well 
on almost any well drained 
fertile soil, but it does its best 
on a rather heavy moist 
loam. 
“Make the ground rich, 
for the Peony is what gar¬ 
deners term a ‘ gross feeder.’ 
The roots also like plenty of 
water. Plant in the Autumn 
2 to 3 feet apart, with the 
crowns 2 to 3 inches below 
the surface, and press soil 
well about the roots. 
“A clump well established 
will last from 20 to 40 years. 
But it pays to take them up, 
divide the roots and replant 
them every 7 or 8 years, 
“Oblong beds — 3 rows 
wide, make grand displays— 
but better still, plant gener¬ 
ously along your porch or 
walk, or in front of shrub¬ 
bery border.”— Garden Maga¬ 
zine.
