Fall orders for Peonies cannot be filled before October .- 
Field of Peonies in Full Bloom 
Fine, hardy plants, rivaling the rose in perfection of bloom, color and fragrance. They 
are at home in any climate or soil, but thrive best in a deep, rich, well-drained loam. They 
make a gorgeous display planted in beds, on the lawn, or planted singly along the walk 
or herbaceous border. The Peony is perfectly hardy and generally able to care for itself, 
but it does not follow that they enjoy neglect. Give them ample room in which to grow, 
keeping them free from weeds and grass, and they will amply repay all the care given. 
A word to beginners: Use no fertilizer of any kind on newly set Peonies. Don’t be alarmed 
when you see your newly set Peonies begin to turn brown in July and appear to be quite 
dead in August. This is natural. They will be on hand again in the spring. 
The following varieties embrace a wide range of color and will be found very 
satisfactory. Prices quoted are for strong divisions. 
Fine old favorites for beds or border. They have a wide range of gorgeous colors and 
delightfully fragrant.

(NOTE—There is a very general impres- 
sion that peonies must be set in the fall. 
This is a bit of nonsense. If peony stock 
has been dug in the fall and held over 
winter in damp storage they will do fully 
as well when set in the early spring.)
