planted in the spring during the month of April and the 
early part of May, or in September. Work the soil thor- 
oughly to a depth of 8 or 10 inches, applying at the 
same time a generous amount of Vigoro or bone meal 
fertilizer, mixed well into the soil. Plant root in this pre- 
pared soil so that the crown will be about 1 inch below 
the surface. Press the soil firmly around the roots. 
Peonies should not be planted any closer than 3 feet 
apart and should not be close to trees as the roots of 
the trees take from the soil the nourishing elements that 
ae ce by the Peonies. Peonies do best in a sunny 
ocation.
