^nxsxyuiHt PeMi^ieA. 
A n important point to observe in the planting of herbaceous 
Peonies is not to plant too deep. The roots should be placed so that 
the crowns are covered with 2 inches of soil. Too deep planting is a 
frequent cause of shy flowering. 
All strong divisions of 3 to 5 eyes; large field clumps, 3 and 4 years old 
can be furnished in a few varieties at proportionate prices. There are also 
a limited supply of 2- and 3-eye divisions in a few varieties priced at 50c. 
The number after the name shows the rating given by the American 
Peony Society on the basis of 1 0.0 for a perfect flower.
