CULTURE OF PEONIES 
The best time of all the year to plant Peonies is from 
about Sept. 1 until the ground freezes. October dug 
roots will have larger "eyes” than those dug Sept. 1, 
but they will not produce any better results. When you 
receive your shipment of roots soak them in water for 
several hours before planting. Prepare the ground by 
deep digging or plowing, working in some raw ground 
bone as a permanent food for the roots to feed on. Top 
dressings of wood ashes from year to year are very 
beneficial. Plant so the eyes are only about two inches 
below the level of the ground and plant where drainage 
is good, as no water should stand where Peonies are to 
grow. Keep ground free from weeds. 
It takes about three years for a Peony to become 
established so it will bear its finest flowers. Planted 
three feet apart each way the roots can remain undis¬ 
turbed for a period of 5 to 10 years and each year
