There are few flowers which have been 
improved more than the Peony. From the 
old-fashioned reds and pinks, familiar in 
our grandmothers’ gardens, we now have 
marvelous varieties with better color, form, 
and all-around quality. 
They are at home and should be in every 
garden. Plant the crowns about 2 or 3 
inches deep, use bone meal, see that they 
get sufficient water at blooming time, and 
you wil! be more than pleased if you use
