PEONIES 
Peonies are the most easily grown of all the hardy flowering 
plants. Each year they produce a wealth of gorgeous blooms 
over a period of several weeks. With a little care the plants 
live and produce for many years, therefore it pays to plant 
only the finest varieties. Our list contains many of the very 
highest rated varieties. 
Size of plants—aAll plants sold are strong divisions, 3 to 5 eyes 
or more, with a good root system. Strong plants that 
usually bloom the first year and with proper care quickly 
develop into larger clumps. 
Planting and Care—Fall planting is best for Peonies. Set 
them anytime before the ground freezes. 
Set the roots so the buds or eyes are upright. Plant the 
roots so the buds are just about 2 inches below the sur- 
face. Do not plant too deep or the plants may fail to 
bloom. 
The first winter, hill the ground slightly over the plants 
and cover with a little straw or coarse mulch but avoid 
leaves or anything that may become too wet. Remove 
mulch and level ground after ground thaws in spring. 
Feed peonies with a little commercial fertilizer several 
times each summer. Spread it around the plants, not on 
them and hoe it into the ground. 
NOTE: We fill and ship Peony orders in fall only.
