HERBACEOUS PEONIES 
For centuries the Peony has held its place as the 
most magnificent and beautiful of perennial flowering 
plants. They are hardy in the coldest climates and 
thrive in practically all parts of the temperate zone. 
The soil best suited to their culture is a natural 
loam with a clay subsoil. They do not require humus 
or peat moss and manure should not be used in the soil 
preparation. A little bonemeal mixed with the soil at | 
time of planting is best suited to the needs of he plants 
in after years. 
Planting should be done during the fall months for 
best results. From early September until garden work is 
interupted by unfavorable winter weather, In planting, 
dig generous holes and loosen the soil in the bottom ot 
the hole. Set the roots so the eyes are pointing upward 
and so that they will be about two to two and a half 
inches below the surface of the soil when planting is 
completed. Firm the soil about the roots. 
The following is a list arranged by color and care-
