PEONIES 
Peony plants should be good for several decades, so it is very poor 
judgment 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 flower- 
ing are probable causes of unsatisfactory 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 digging Peonies. 
The figures after the price of each variety is its rating by the Amer- 
ican Peony Society. The old rating system is used and on a basis of 10.0 
being perfect. The prices are for strong standard divisions of 3-5 eyes 
or buds. Other sizes furnished on this basis.
