PAEONIAS 
After Iris, Peonies rank second in popularity as a hardy gar- 
den subject. Once they are planted, they can remain in one 
location eight to fourteen years before transplanting is neces- 
sary and each year they increase in size and beauty. They 
thrive best in well drained, loamy soil. Plant Peonies so that 
the buds are two inches below the surface when the ground is 
settled around them. If planted too deep, you will not have 
any blooms although plenty of foliage.
