ROSE HILL NURSERY 
Peontes 
Rival of the Rose 
CARE should be taken in planting the Peony, to set the roots with the eyes about | to 2 inches below 
the surface of the soil. Planting too deep will prevent blooming though the plant may otherwise seem 
healthy. Peonies do best in a rich soil. Peonies are gross feeders. Thoroughly decomposed cow manure or 
commercial fertilizer should be used but care must be taken not to have the fertilizer come into direct 
contact with the roots. 
We offer strong, regular size 3- to 5-eye roots and also extra large size 6- to 8-eye roots, as
