Peonies 
Require deep, rich soil and an abundance of 
water during the growing season. They should 
be planted so that the eyes are barely covered 
(about 1 to 2 inches). The roots we offer 
have been grown two years from root-divi¬ 
sions, If planted during September and Oc¬ 
tober, these roots should become well estab¬ 
lished and give some flowers the following 
season. Many of the following varieties re¬
