Care should be taken in planting the Peony, to set the roots with the eyes about 2 inches below the surface of the soil. 
Planting too deep will prevent blooming though the plant may otherwise seem healthy. Peonies do best in fairly heavy soil. 
If, therefore, your ground be very light and sandy it is advisable to incorporate considerable clay with it. Peonies are gross 
feeders. Thoroughly decomposed cow manure or commercial fertilizer should be used but care must be taken not to have the 
fertilizer come into direct contact with the roots. 
We offer strong 3- to 5-eye roots at prices quoted. Also 6- to 8-eye, blooming size roots at double the price quoted
