Mauting Peonies 
A PEONY PLANT often becomes a family favorite for 
generations; therefore, buy only the best varieties and 
top-quality roots. We specialize in growing roots which 
are true-to-name and in a healthy condition. 
WHERE TO PLANT—Plant in average soil, with good 
drainage and at least half-time sunlight, in beds or rows 
by themselves, here and there in perennial borders or 
shrubbery foreground, along walks, etc. 
WHEN TO PLANT—In September and until the ground 
freezes. Orders already placed are mailed directly to 
the customer unless otherwise designated. 
HOW DEEP SHOULD THEY BE PLANTED—tThe buds 
on the crown of the plant should be two inches below 
the surface of the soil. In setting the root, be sure the 
soil in the bottom of the hole has been well tamped 
down so the plant will not sink below this level. 
OUR OFFER FOR THIS YEAR—We are offering approx- 
imately 200 varieties of Choice Peonies for fall season 
planting. All have been carefully selected over the past 
years. We vouch for their healthy condition as they are 
divisions from young field grown stock. All divisions 
have three to five eyes or more. 
-FOR BEST SELECTION—Choose during blooming time, 
usually the first two weeks in June, when blossoms 
are picked from the field and set up in the packing 
shed for easy selection. Display may be seen in the 
packing shed formerly used by The Leightons (see 
directional map on the back page). 
Inquiries should be addressed to Rte. 2, Box 2148-E,
