How to Plant Peonies 
Peonies may be planted successfully during 
autumn or early spring. The area to be planted 
should usually have a liberal application of bone- 
meal or superphosphate deeply spaded in, as prepa- 
ration. Inasmuch as Peonies become quite large with 
age, they should be spaced 3 or 4 feet apart. The 
holes should be dug large enough and deep enough to 
accommodate the roots to be planted. In setting 
the plants, place the eyes (crown buds) 21% inches 
below ground level. A handful of fertilizer mixed 
with the soil before filling in is good practice. Allow 
no manure of any kind to come in contact with 
Peony roots. Never plant in a location where the 
roots of large trees will rob Peonies of necessary 
plant food and moisture. 
Peony clumps may stand in the same place for 
many years if grass-sod is not allowed to strangle 
growth and if an occasional application of bonemeal 
and potash is hoed in around the plants. Do not 
mow Peony tops to the ground before late fall, and 
leave at least half the foliage on the plant when tak- 
ing cut flowers. 
Our Peonies are grown for plants only, and the 
roots sent out on orders will be from young, disease- 
free blocks, assuring satisfaction to our customers. 
Shipment will begin in early September, continuing 
through the fall season.
