PEONIES 
After Iris, Peonies rank second in popularity as a hardy 
garden subject. Once they are planted, they can remain 
in one location eight to fourteen years before transplant- 
ing 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 al- 
though 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 
buds; second price one year old plants. 
+Amberglow—Strong, upright stems of medium height bearing 
dark green leaves which have a peculiar fluted effect. Bud is
