Peonies 
They require a deep rich soil and should be 
planted so that the eyes are about 1 inch 
beneath the surface. To each root we recom- 
mend a 4-inch pot of bonemeal at planting- 
time, which should be well mixed in the soil 
about the roots. If planted in the fall, we rec- 
ommend also a blanket of manure or Mulch- 
o-Nure the first winter. Our plants are all 2 or 
more years old. They will not throw much 
bloom the first season, but should be estab- 
lished by the following year.
