Few hardy herbaceous plants 
are so suited to any position in 
garden or grounds as the Paeo- 
nia. The gorgeous display of 
flowers in their season is very 
effective, and the dark green 
foliage at all times is attractive. 
What better frontage for shrub¬ 
beries, or in fact for any large 
plantation, than Paeonias? They 
are also well suited to massing 
in beds by themselves. Give 
the borders or beds a deep and 
thorough spading ; yes, trench 
the ground, working in a liberal 
supply of the best decomposed 
manure, and again a top dress¬ 
ing of the same in spring. 
Avoid planting too deep ; an 
inch or so of soil over the buds 
is sufficient. Don’t expect too 
much of them the first year. 
They are a little slow in their 
growth, but after a couple of 
seasons, if they have been well 
cared for, you will have no 
reason for regretting the extra 
pains in setting. They bloom 
in June.
