Blooming Size PEONIES — A Rosedale Specialty 
The propagation and growing of Peonies at Rosedale 
has had such special attention and care for so many years 
that we feel we canl rightfully determine which of the 
many varieties are best for growing in this area. 
The Peonies listed have been selected because of their 
superiority in growing habits, sturdiness, fragrance, form 
and foliage. 
_Stze of Peony Root: WRosedale Peonies are offered in a 
size one year older than is usual. A “‘division’’ (the size 
of root stock usually sold) at Rosedale has at least three 
to five eyes and has been planted and grown under ideal 
conditions for one year before being offered for sale. These 
plants develop new roots and large, husky eyes which gen- 
erally bloom the following June when planted in the Fall. 
Culture: September and October are the months to plant 
Peonies for blooms in June. Prepare soil to depth of 
18 inches, mixing in liberally bonemeal and pulverized 
sheep manure. Do NOT use fresh manure near roots. Plant 
the root division so that the prominent eyes are 2 inches 
below the surface of ground. Firm soil well around roots.
