FOR FALL PLANTING • 1937 
Always plant Peonies in the fall, for the roots are then in prime condition. They 
grow well in any good garden soil. Care should be taken to keep manure a few 
inches away from the crowns of the plants, except the first winter, when a coarse 
mulch an inch or more deep may be placed directly over the plants to prevent the 
frost from heaving them. It is not necessary to fertilize rich soil. In poor soil, the 
manure should be kept 10 inches from the surface, and well mixed with the subsoil; 
after planting, apply manure to surface as previously advised. Never allow manure to 
come in contact with the roots, as it rots them. Set roots 2 feet or more apart and cover 
top eyes not more than 2 to 3 inches; deep planting often results in blind growth. 
Our Peonies are extra-strong, field-grown roots (not divisions). 
Official ratings of the American Peony Society are given where available. 
Abbreviations used to signify blooming time are; E, Early; EM, Early Mid¬ 
season; M, Midseason; LM, Late Midseason; L, Late.
