PEONIES for Fall Delivery 
Peonies should be planted from the beginning of September until 
the ground freezes. We begin digging early in September and can 
ship any time until the ground freezes. They prefer a heavy loam 
soil, although any good garden soil will give good results. It 
should be well drained and away from the shade of trees or build¬ 
ings. The soil should be worked deep. Manure should either be 
incorporated in the soil some time before the roots are planted or 
used as a mulch during the winter and worked into the soil in the 
spring. It should not be allowed to come in contact with the roots 
at any time. The roots should be planted with the eyes two or 
three inches below the surface of the soil. They are hardy and 
free from insect attacks. Early planting is to be recommended, as 
it gives the plant a chance to get established before the ground 
freezes. Orders may be booked at any time for fall delivery. As 
the stock of some of the new and rare varieties is limited, early 
orders are advisable. 
So far as possible, we send strong one-year plants; when this 
is impossible, we send divisions with three to five strong eyes which 
generally bloom the first year. Peonies do not come to their best 
until the third or fourth year, and some varieties do not bloom until 
the second or third year after planting. We grow our own roots 
and guarantee them tiue to name.
