HILL’S PEONIES 
PEONIES 
Peonies offered in this list are varieties 
of proven merit and quality. Prices are 
for standard three- to five-eye divisions 
guaranteed true to name. Delivery of 
Peonies will begin in late September and 
continue until freezing weather. All 
orders will be acknowledged and filled 
in the order in which they are received. 
Peony orders amounting to $3 or more 
will be shipped by prepaid parcel post 
or express, whichever is cheaper. Orders 
for less than $3 must include 25 cents 
for postage. 
Peonies do best in rich soil. Use fertili¬ 
zer or well rotted manure if your soil 
needs it, but do not allow fertilizer to 
come in direct contact with the roots. 
Peonies are shipped in damp moss, but 
they should be soaked in water for a few 
hours before planting. In planting, be 
careful not to cover the roots too deep; 
the eyes or buds should not be covered 
more than two inches. All plants will be 
carefully labeled and packed.
