Don’t be afraid to plant Peony roots in the spring if they were | 
dug in the fall and properly stored during the winter. We have had 
many years’ experience with both fall and spring planting and find 
them equally satisfactory.

8.5 ALMA (Shaylor) 
A midseason light pink of medium size. The pale pink guard 
petals which gradually fade to a pale yellow toward the base sur- 
round a cluster of bright yellow petaloids, tipped gold. Center 
carpels are a greenish yellow, tipped pink. An attractive variety 
with strong stems and good foliage. A Brand Division $1.50

we like it as well as Ama-No-Sode. A Brand Division $3.00
