PEONIES 
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.
