Peony Culture 
In public favor the modern Peony runs a close 
second to the Rose. For fragrance and beauty of 
form it is hard to choose between them and when 
planted in masses they surpass the Rhododendron in 
size and magnificence of bloom. 
Their culture is so simple that little need be said. 
They will grow in most any soil, but prefer a deep 
rich rather moist loam. They are gross feeders, so 
fertilize heavily but never place fresh manure in con- 
tact with the roots. They also like a sweet soil, there- 
fore, an annual fall application of agricultural lime 
is recommended. In October cut all foliage to the 
ground and burn. This is important to keep your 
Peonies healthy. 
September is the best month to transplant. Plant 
so that eyes are 2 inches below the surface. Flowers 
the first year will be few, but when thoroughly estab- 
lished a plant may be expected to bloom for 20 years 
if undisturbed. 
We do not attempt to grow all the good varieties 
but.the above list contains a full range of color of the 
“Better Peonies for New England.”
