Single and Japanese Type, in the order of blooming. 
The Japanese type is very similar to the single, having one to two rows of large 
outside petals with a tuft of petaloids in the center, while the singles have pollen¬ 
bearing stamens in the center.

Prices are for strong, 3 to 5 eye commercial divisions from young clumps with 
fresh solid vigorous root system. These are much superior to division from old hollow 
crown exhausted clumps usually offered by the “cheap Johns,” and which may take 
years to recover their vitality. 
Do not expect much from newly planted roots, the flowers will not be typical 
as it takes a season or two to become established. 
PEONY CULTURE 
SUCCESS with Peonies follows only when we meet their requirements, a well 
drained fertile soil (a little clay helps) not too close to large shi’ubs, trees or hot 
walls and with at least a half day sun. 
Plant in early autumn with the eyes or sprouts not more than two inches below 
the surface after allowing for settling of the soil, keep the surface loose, free from 
weeds and grass and do not overwater, a good soaking once a week in dry soil is 
sufficient. 
Fertilizers should be used sparingly and carefully. A double handful of bone 
meal and ground lime rock mixed with the soil at planting time will carry them 
along a couple of years. 
Animal manure, unless well rotted and incorporated with the soil in advance of 
planting time, should not be used and never in contact with the roots. 
After two years it may be applied between the rows but not near the stalks, in 
early spring, then worked lightly below the surface. 
BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, good healthy roots should be obtained from 
a grower making a specialty of growing Peonies. 
Cheap roots are freely offered, usually something wrong with them, shy bloom¬ 
ing. improperly handled, very often diseased and seldom give satisfaction. Avoid 
disappointment and regrets by starting right with healthy vigorous roots at a fair 
price.
