PEONIES 
Peony plants should be good for several decades, so it is very poor judg- 
ment to start with unnamed, poorly rated, or discarded varieties simply because 
they are cheap when so many highly rated superior kinds can be had for but 
a few cents more. Planting too deep or out of season, fertilizing too heavily, 
or cutting the tops too soon after flowering are probable causes of of unsatis- 
factory results with peonies. 
Peonies may be planted best after September lst and before growth starts 
much in spring, in any good garden soil, not too shaded, and the buds should 
not be covered more than two inches. Bone meal may be used about them 
and some complete commercial fertilizer applied with caution. 
A stock of all the more expensive varieties is not kept in storage for late 
spring planting, so any orders for them which come too late for spring digging 
will be held until September, which is the next season for planting Peonies. 
The figures after the price of each variety is its rating by the American 
Peony Society. The old rating system is used and on a basis of 10.0 being per- 
fect. The prices are for strong standard divisions of 3-5 eyes or buds. Other 
sizes furnished on this basis.
