plants. You may have one each of the varieties

Peonies should be planted in full sun. The 
ground should be enriched with bone-meal and 
Wizard Sheep Manure, or well-rotted compost. 
Place the crowns l}/2 inches below ground level. 
Pack the earth well below and between the roots 
to avoid undue settling of the crown. 
ORIENTAL POPPIES 
For intense brilliance of color, this hardy peren¬ 
nial is not surpassed by any garden flower. They 
enjoy a coarse mulch applied in late fall or early 
winter and water during summer dry spells. 
They resent being disturbed during the growing 
.season, and it is well to leave them religiously 
alone in the spring.
