Peonies 
There is no flower today that has so many real a@- 
mjrers in America as the Peony and no owen that is 
So universally grown. There are thousands of people 
who grow large blocks of peonies of many. varieties 
purely for the pleasure and recreation they get out of 
it, in fact the “Peony Fan” is getting to be about as 
numerous as the “Sport Fan.’ No matter how large 
or small the flower garden, it seems the Peony must 
be there with its rugged dark green foliage and mas- 
sive yet delicate blooms to complete the picture. Now 
only is this true but the Peony will stand more abuse 
and neglect than almost any other flower and yet 
serve well its master. Of course no one wants to 
abuse anything so grand and beautiful as a Peony and 
if you will give them the ordinary soil and care that 
you would any other flower you will be delighted with 
the results and well repaid for your efforts. Plant 
Peony roots in good rich, well drained soil, from two 
to three feet apart each way. Cover with three, or 
not over four inches of loose dirt and pack well. . If 
planted too deep they are liable not to bleaom and if too 
shallow the frost is very apt to heave the crown eyes
