$1.00 each, 810.00 per dozen for September

PAEONTAS 
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. 
Peonies can be planted almost any season of the year but Fall 
planting from September to November is best. The first season 
does not produce large or typical blooms. All peonies listed 
below are flowering size. First price quoted for a large division 
at least 3 to 5 buds; second price one year old plants. 
+Amberglow—Strong, upright stems of medium height bearing 
dark green leaves which have a peculiar fluted effect. Bud is 
delicate pink and the flower globular, flesh pink with salmon 
lights. Late but opens well and is noticeable for its delicate 
coloring and crisp freshness, $4.00-85.00. 
+Ama-no-sode (Oriental type )—Large, bright rose-pink 
with lighter tints. Extra. 83.00-84.00.
