OUR LIST OF GOOD, BETTER AND BEST 
PEONIES FOR FALL DELIVERY 
There are many beautiful forms of Peonies, most of which are 
classed into three groups—double, single and Japanese. Many of the 
older varieties have been imported from Europe and Japan but most 
of the newer sorts are now being originated in this country. The Peony 
is easy to grow and is a very satisfactory garden flower either for 
_ landscape or cut-flower use. They are profuse bloomers, some plants 
being literally covered with immense flowers. Peonies are very hardy 
and will succeed in practically any good garden soil. 
The roots we send out have at least 3 to 5 eyes. Of greater im- 
portance is the root system, which must be well balanced and of 
sufficient size to insure a vigorous growth. We feel that our roots 
are the finest obtainable. 
PEONY CULTURE is very simple. Dig the hole about the size of a 
bushel basket. Fill back enough soil so that when the roots are placed 
on this soil the plant will be at the right depth. The eyes should be 
about two inches below the surface of the soil, too deep usually means 
failure to bloom properly. Thoroughly tamp the bottom soil before 
finally placing the plant. Then fill in the balance of the soil around 
the plant, firmly packing about the roots with the hand. Water well 
before the hole is completely filled. Frequent cultivation until August 
is desirable. September 1 until December | is generally the best time 
to plant.
