HOW TO PLANT 
PEONIES 
Peonies are heavy feeders and 
should be planted in soil which 
has been thoroughly prepared by 
deep spading and the addition of 
well rotted manure or good com- 
mercial fertilizer. 
Peonies should be planted with 
eyes NOT MORE THAN TWO 
INCHES below surface of the 
soil. 
Most of the trouble that garden- 
ers experience in not_ having 
their peonies bloom comes from 
planting too deep. 
Have holes generously large to 
accommodate the roots. Sift in 
finely pulverized soil around 
roots until nearly covered, and 
then fill hole with water and 
allow to settle. This eliminates 
any air pockets. Fill in balance 
of earth to proper depth and 
pack firmly. 
Peonies planted in this manner 
will seldom fail to grow and 
bloom the following year. 
Well rotted manure applied as a 
mulch in late fall and then 
worked into the soil the follow- 
ing spring will help promote lux- 
uriant growth and blooms.
