Peonies require a deep rich soil and 
should be planted so that the eyes are 
about 1 inch beneath the surface. To 
each root we recommend a 4-inch pot of 
bonemeal at planting time, which 
should be well mixed in the soil about 
the roots. If planted in the fall, we rec- 
ommend also a blanket of manure or 
Mulch-o-Nure the first winter. Our 
plants are all 2 or more years old.

Rare Tree Peonies (Nov. delivery) 
These shrubs are spectacular 
and when seen in full bloom many 
other plants will seem _unattrac- 
tive by contrast. The large 
beautiful blossoms display grace- 
ful, often crinkled petals, which 
sometimes look as if they were 
made of crepe paper. All varie- 
ties have a delicious fragrance. 
Since the plants are extremely 
hardy, they need no protection 
after the first winter.
