the soil. The crowns should l^e planted not 
more than 2 inches beneath the surface of the 
soil. l'2ach fall put a good covering of manure

greater perfection of bloom, they require an 
abundance of moisture, and some growers 
recommend liquid manure ai)i)lied to the soil 
just before and during tlie blooming season, 
which is the middle of Mav to Julv. When 
])roperly cared for, these Peonies will thrive 
twenty years or more.
