out of the ground and kill them. Give them plenty of 
water just before biooming time. In the fall cover 
the bed with about two inches of coarse manure and 
in the spring rake it away from the plant and work 
into the soil. As the plants become well filled after 
three or four years take up the roots early in Septem- 
ber and divide them, leaving three or four good crown 
eyes to each division. These should be planted at 
once in a different location, or if planted in the same 
place it is best to dig out the old earth around the 
piant and fill in with new. Do not be discouraged if 
your blooms are not what you expected the first and 
second year as Peonies seldom bear true to type dur- 
ing the first two years. Wait until the third year and 
you will know exactiy what you have. The following 
list will give you a wide range of colors from which 
to select.

Bulbs 
For Fall Planting 
The hardy spring blooming bulbs form one of the 
most valuable of the garden’s assets. There are so 
many varieties of them and so many of them of such 
simple culture that the least experienced need not 
hesitate to undertake the growing of them. The most 
satisfactory soil for growing bulbs is a fibrous loam, 
well supplied with sharp sand and it should also pos- 
sess good natural drainage. They should be planted 
only in the fall in order that their roots may become 
established for the very early bloom. After the ground 
is frozen mulch the bed with clean straw or litter and 
rake away early in the spring. Do not use fresh 
stable manure at any time, either in the soil or as a 
mulch or you will have no flowers. An ideal way is to 
plant in irregular patches at the edge of the shrubbery, 
borders or about the lawn beneath the trees. Beds 
may be used and definite color schemes worked out. 
A thin layer of sand upon which to lay the bulb will 
well repay for the trouble. The accompanying dia- 
gram shows the depth to plant the different bulbs.
