Schlins’s Selected PEONIES 
I T IS a known fact that the only time to plant Peonies for 
really good results the first year is in the autumn. It is 
advisable to cover the top eye of these strong roots no more 
than 2 inches. Protection is rarely necessary, and, if used, 
should consist only of such covering as salt-hay or Cran-Cover.
