PEONIES 
The ideal flower for the great Northwest since it endures 
the most intense cold without injury. The Peony is one of 
the most easily grown, and showiest of the perennial 
flowering plants. Conditions of the soil, location and cul- 
tivation are important factors in growing Peonies. 
Peonies may be planted in the spring during the month 
of April and the early part of May or in September. 
Work the soil thoroughly to a depth of 8 or 10 inches, 
applying at the same time a generous amount of Vigoro 
or bone meal fertilizer, mixed well into the soil, 
root in this prepared soil so that the crown. will be about 
1 inch below the surface. Firm soil around the roots. 
Peonies should not be planted any closer than 38 feet 
apart ‘and should not be close to trees as the roots of 
the trees take from the soil the nourishing .elements that 
are needed by the Peonies. Plant in a sunny location.

Tris should be planted in a sunny location and may be 
planted in groups or singly. Bearded varieties in general 
prefer an ‘alkaline rather than an acid soil. The Iris

to decay. The best time for planting is in the summer 
months of July and August.
