Peonies 
The culture of peonies is very easy and it does not re¬ 
quire any certain soil, either sandy or heavy will do. The 
earth must be spaded deep. A little manure mixed in 
would not hurt. After your ground is in shape, plant the 
roots from 2 to 3 feet apart, covering the crown only 1 to 2 
inches. Then give them plenty of -water for best results. 
The best of the many varieties are those mentioned below.

Dahlias 
Our Dahlias are of the finest 
quality and selection. 
Culture: Pick a sunny spot 
if possible and spade well; do 
not use too much manure, for 
a small quantity goes far with 
the Dahlia; then lay the root 
on its side about 4 inches from 
the surface. In covering, be 
sure to have the soil packed 
firmly about the tuber or roots; 
plant only when the soil is dry, 
then water sparingly.
