The demand for different flowers seems to run in 
cycles. Right now this demand is running back to 
Peonies. The past two seasons we have had more 
orders for Peonies than at any time in the previous 
ten years. This evidently is partly because our good 
customers know that we send out only first class 
plants, true to name, partly because Peonies are 
so hardy and easy to grow, and because when once 
they are planted, they get better every year. 
Spring planted Peonies' do every bit as well as 
fall planted ones, some people think even better, 
but plants set out in the spring must be dug and 
divided in the fall and kept in cold storage all winter. 
All Peony plants offered are strong, 3 to 5 eye 
divisions from young clumps, with plenty of good 
healthy roots. They are in cold storage and can be 
shipped any time you want them, but the earlier 
you get them planted, the better.

HOW TO PLANT PEONY ROOTS 
Make hole deep and wide enough to 
accommodate the roots. Plant so that the 
"eyee** are NOT more than two inches 
below the surface. TOO DEEP PLANT¬ 
ING IS OFTEN THE REASON WHY 
PEONIES DO NOT BLOOM.
