PEONIES 
After Iris, Peonies rank second in popularity as a hardy garden sub- 
ject. Once they are planted, they can remain in one location eight 
to fourteen years before transplanting is necessary and each year 
they increase in size and beauty. They thrive best in well drained, 
loamy soil. Plant Peonies so that the buds are two inches below the 
surface when the ground is settled around them. If planted too deep, 
you will not have any blooms although plenty of foliage. 
Peonies can be planted almost any season of the year but Fall 
planting from September to November is best. The first season does 
not produce large or typical blooms. All peonies listed below are 
flowering size. First price quoted for a large division at least 3 to 5
