A SUGGESTION 
Why look any farther for a present for Christmas, Easter, Birthday, Valentine, 
Wife, Mother, Sis, Sweetheart or even Dad? Send them a Peony, Iris or a Hemerocallis. 
Just send me the order and I will send them along at the right season for planting. 
PHONY CULTURE 
The peony is one of the hardiest of all plants. It will grow any place where 
you can grow vegetables, except it does better in a climate where it freezes in the 
winter. 
After you choose a place where you want to grow your peonies, then dig up the 
ground to a depth of about one foot and break up all the clods and rake it down till 
it is good and mellow, This should be done some time before you want to plant your 
plants. Remember to keep far enough away from large trees so that the roots will not 
starve your peonies. When you receive your peony roots from the grower open them 
soon and see to it that they are kept moist wmtil you plant them. If they are be~ 
ginning to shrivel when you open the package, then soak them fer a day or two in a 
bucket of water. This should bring them back to a nice plump condition and they will 
be ready to set out, 
When you set your peonies out be sure to have the eyes abent two inches below 
the level of the ground around the plants. If they are planted too deep they will 
be about two more years getting to the blooming stage. Be sure to pack the ground 
down firmly with your hands around the roots when you plent a peony. When you have 
the dirt all back except the last inch you may pour in a bucket of water if you wish, 
then let the water all settle away, then finish filling the hole with loose dirt. If 
the season is average and you have plenty of natural moisture it is not really 
necessary to water them down when you plant them. Just do not let them dry out too 
much the first season. Good cultivation at all times is best, 
Peonies may be planted any time after the first of September. That is their 
dormant season and like other plants they do.not like to be moved during their 
growing season. The best size root to buy is the three to five eye or standard 
division as it is called. A great big root may do better the first spring after it 
is planted, tut after the second season the standard division will give you the best 
bloom of any. 
Plant your peony roots about three and one-half feet apart and do not crowd them 
with any other plants. Like most plants they like to be grown alone. If you want 
good blooms next season, leave the foliage or at least all the foliage you can on the 
plant all summer, This foliage gives the root the life it needs to make bloom next 
year.
