In addition to the plants listed above, I have in 
my garden a number of new races of hybrids at prices 
from $5.00 to $15.00; these include the “Halcyon” 
Group (albiflora x Ozieri alba); a new “Lavender” 
Group (albiflora x coriacea); Quadruple hybrids, and 
some species which are not easy to obtain true to 
name. For information regarding all these her- 
baceous plants, as well as my Tree Peony Hybrids 
(between Chinese tree peonies and P. lutea or P. 
Delavayi), please write for my complete catalogue. 
Directions for Planting 
Failures with peonies are more often due to bad 
planting than to poor roots. The ground should be pre- 
pared in advance and must be deeply dug. Two feet is 
not too much; 18 inches is a minimum, and the hole 
where the root is to be set should be filled with good 
friable loam. Some manure at the bottom will be to 
the good but it must not come into contact with the 
roots. These must be set not too deep. 
In the case of the herbaceous peonies, the buds 
should be placed so that they will be covered with two 
or three inches of soil. 
Tree peonies and the lutea hybrids should be 
planted at the depth at which they have been growing. 
In grafted plants the union between the understock 
and the scion should be a couple of inches below the 
surface of the soil. 
At the best however, peonies cannot be expected 
to give much bloom the first year after setting.
