PLANT PEONIES FOR PERMANENT BEAUTY 
Peonies do not bloom well the first year 
but improve rapidly when established. 
Planting should be done as early as pos- 
sible. Strong three to five eye divisions. 
The following twelve double peonies are 
considered among the best in their class. 
All are fully double and of exceptionally 
high rating. Many of them are very fra- 
grant. 
Peonies are easily grown almost any- 
where in ordinary garden soil, the princi- 
pal thing to remember in planting to see 
that the eyes are not more than an inch 
or two below the surface. Too deep plant- 
ing is the most common cause of failure 
to flower. The varieties here listed will 
all flower profusely, increasing in beauty 
from year to year and may be left undis- 
turbed for 20 years. 
While Peonies give best results when 
fall planted, in this climate they may be 
Dlanted at any time during. the winter up 
until about April I1st, with average 
"weather.
