PEONIES 
The Peony is a native of Siberia which undoubtedly 
accounts for its great.vigor and hardiness. The ideal 
flower for the great Northwest since it endures the most 
intense cold without injury. The Peony is one of the 
most easily grown, and showiest of the perennial flower- 
ing plants. Conditions of the soil, location and cultiva- 
tion are important factors in growing Peonies. 
Peonies may be planted in the spring during the month 
of April and the early part of May, but we recommend 
planting in September, Work the soil thoroughly to a 
depth of 8 or 10 inches, applying at the same time a gen- 
erous amount of Vigoro or bone meal fertilizer, mixed 
well into the soil. Plant root in this prepared soil so that 
the crown will be about 1 inch below the surface. Press 
the soil firmly around the roots, 
Peonies should not be planted any closer than 3 feet 
apart and should not be close to trees as the roots of 
the trees take from the soil the nourishing elements that 
are needed by the Peonies. Peonies do best in a sunny 
location. |
