CULTURE OF PEONIES 
The best time of all the year to plant Peonies is from 
about Sept. 1 until the ground freezes. October dug 
roots will have larger “eyes” than those dug Sept. 1, 
but they will not produce any better results. When you 
receive your shipment of roots soak them in water for 
several hours before planting. Prepare the ground by 
deep digging or plowing, working in some raw ground 
bone as a permanent food for the roots to feed on. Top 
dressings of wood ashes from year to year are very 
beneficial. Plant so the eyes are only about two inches 
below the level of the ground and plant where drainage 
is good, as no water should stand where Peonies are to 
grow. Keep ground free from weeds. 
It takes about three years for a Peony to become 
established so it will bear its finest flowers. Planted 
three feet apart each way the roots can remain undis- 
turbed for a period of 5 to 10 years and each year 
develop into a finer plant. After the ground freezes 
cover a new planting with some straw, leaves or other 
litter to prevent the roots being heaved out of the ground 
by the action of the frost. In the spring remove covering 
and cultivate frequently from April to September to in- 
sure the finest flowers from year to year. 
THE CUT FLOWERS 
When cutting Peonies always leave two or more leaves 
on the stalk from which you cut, and it is better not 
to cut all the flowers from any plant. 
Leave some leaves on each stalk and some flowers on 
each plant. It pays. 
JAPANESE IRIS— 
July Flowering 
For best results plant on a slope or other well drained 
situation. While they are forming buds in June, water 
or liquid cow manure is very beneficial. Well rotted 
manure or humus keeps them thriving. They do not 
seem to like lime or bone meal.
