PEONIES 
The Peony is a native of Siberia which undoubtedly 
accounts for its great vigor and hardiness. The ideal 
flower for the great Northwest since it endures the most 
intense cold without injury. The Peony is one of the 
most easily grown, and showiest of the perennial flower- 
ing plants. Conditions of the soil, location and cultiva- 
tion are important factors in growing Peonies. 
Peonies may be planted in the spring during the month 
of April and the early part of May or in September: 
Work the soil thoroughly to a depth of 8 or 10 inches, 
applying at the same time a generous amount of Vigoro 
or bone meal fertilizer, mixed well into the soil. Plant 
root in this prepared soil so that the crown will be about 
1 inch below the surface. Press the soil firmly-around 
the roots. 
Peonies should not be planted any closer than 3 feet 
apart and should not be close to trees as the roots of 
the trees take from the soil the nourishing elements that 
are needed by the Peonies. Plant in a sunny location.

IRIS 
Tris Is a Grand Early Season Bloomer 
Tris should be planted in a_ sunny location and may be 
planted in groups or singly. Bearded varieties in general 
prefer an alkaline rather than an acid soil. The Iris 
should be planted in a well-drained location as too much 
moisture, especially in hot weather, may cause the roots 
to decay. Iris may be planted at any time of the vear 
except when they are in bloom or when the ground is 
frozen, although the best time for planting is in the 
summer months of July and August,
