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, nor in manure or other litter.

dele de Perfection, I do not know what it could be; and Constant 
Devred, extremely late, would be hard to beat in its season.
