PEONTES 
PEONY CULTURE 
We begin digging Peonies about the first 
of September and continue until cold 
weather. The accumulation of orders 
throughout the season makes it impos- 
sible for us to ship all orders during 
the first week of September, but orders 
will be fiiled in ample time for planting. 
Most planting is done in September and 
October, but in southern sections you 
may plant in November and early De- 
cember. 
Peonies prefer a rich, well drained soil 
and full sun| Many types of heavy clay 
soils grow good Peonies. Do not plant 
too near trees or shrubs. The eyes or 
buds should be covered from one to two 
inches. Planting too deep will prevent 
bloom. Use fertilizer or compost if your 
soil needs it, but do not overfeed and 
keep fertilizer from direct contact with 
roots and crown of the plant. 
Our prices are for standard three to five 
eye divisions. Long experience has 
shown that such divisions are the most 
satisfactory for the production of strong 
plants and good bloom. We have 
shipped Peony roots to all parts of the 
country for many years and have many 
excellent reports of their growth and 
productiveness.
