MALMO PEONIES 
Peonies are of easy culture and may be 
planted in the spring or early fall. The 
plants thrive best in loose, rich soil and 
should be kept well fertilized. Cover the 
buds but an inch or two over the eyes. 
They do well in our climate and their 
lavish bloom provides excellent cut flow- 
ers as well as making a very colorful 
garden display. 
The numbers shown indicate ratings 
given by the American Peony Society.
