Peouces 
— the World’s Finest Varieties . . 
Peonies are long-lived plants that do not require transplanting unless they show signs of deterioration. For that reason it is 
worth while to be particular about the place where they are to be planted. Choose a sunny location that gets good drainage. Dig 
deep, and use some well-rotted cow manure or a commercial fertilizer to enrich the soil. Bonemeal is also recommended. 
The best months for setting out Peonies are September and October. Be careful not to place them too deep, for deep planting 
may keep them from blooming. The eyes should be only 2 inches below the soil surface. A Bordeaux mixture spray will control 
diseases that occasionally attack Peonies. 
The varieties offered here are the very finest in their class, and in the double-flowered group only the highest rated varieties 
are offered. The plants offered are strong, 3 to 5-eye, healthy plants and should give excellent results.
