Olds’ Peonies 
The roots we offer are large three to five-eye divisions and will usually bloom 
the following spring. Our prices are postpaid. Too deep planting often is the 
reason why peonies fail to bloom. The eyes should not be more than two inches 
below the surface. Fall is the best time to plant peonies. Order now and we will 
mail the roots at the proper time to plant.
