It placed in a sunny window, they will bloom without soil or water, 
and if the withered flowers are removed, will produce a succession 
of lavender-pink blooms. If flowered indoors, when they are 
through blooming, they may be planted in the garden, where they 
will make their foliage in the spring and bloom again in the autumn.

in l^te fall or early winter and water during summer dry spells.

(For Forcing Indoors) 
Most popular for growing in bowls filled with gravel or peat moss. 
By planting a few bulbs each week, a continuous succession of 
lovely white flowers may be had through the entire winter. Bulbs 
should be started in a cool, dark place. When well rooted, the 
bowls should be placed in a sunny window.

PEONIES 
Once planted, Peonies need not be disturbed for years. They 
prefer full sun and deep, rich soil. A generous application of sheep 
manure and bone-meal will make them respond with bigger and 
better blooms. A frequent cause of failure is planting too deep. 
The crowns should never be placed lower then one and one-half 
inches below the surface, being sure that the earth about the roots 
is well firmed, so that they will not settle.
