INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLANTING PEONIES 
If you are ready to plant your Peonies when they arrive, wash off 
all packing material and drop the roots into water. Just before plant- 
ing, remove the labels so the wire will not cut the roots. Dig a hole 
2 feet in diameter and from 1 to 1!/4y feet deep. Place the Peony root 
in the hole so the eyes on the root are 2 inches below the level of the 
ground. It may be necessary to place more soil back into the hole in 
order not to have the eyes more than 2 inches below the level of the 
ground. Be sure the soil is tramped down well so it will not settle 
any more. Hold the division erect in the center of the hole with one 
hand, with the other draw in the soil and pack it firmly about the 
root so that just the eyes show. Give the root a pail of water and then 
fill in the balance of the hole and firm the soil tightly. Just as soon 
as the Peony appears above the ground, begin to cultivate at least 
twice each week until August lst. By keeping the soil loose during 
the first growing season, there should be no loss.
