CULTURE . . 
Peonies may be planted either in the Fall or early Spring in Montana. Dig the soil deeply and cover 
the eyes or new buds to a depth of not more than three inches. Too deep planting causes poor 
and prevents blooming. Their chief requirements are good, rich soil and a sunny or partly shaded loca¬ 
tion. Give a liberal supply of water during growing season. Do not disturb extensively by cultivation.
