SUGGESTIONS 
As a preparation for planting, we summer fallow thoroughly, have the soil clean and free from anything 
that can decay, use no fertilizers, and never plant where peonies have recently grown. We proEer fall planting, 
beginning about September first. 
In the above descriptions of fragrance I have simply done my best and you may not agree with me. There 
are so many different odors that it defies language to make an accurate description. Every peony has its own 
individual breath, habits, and constitution, and they vary much in different soils, humidity, temperatures, and lat¬ 
itude. 
Everyone is invited to visit our gardens in blooming season and form his own opinion. 
Yours, 
HERBERT F. ML\RREN.
