HAertaceaus Peonies 
For centuries the Peony has held its place as 
the most magnificent and beautiful of perennial 
flowering plants. They are hardy in the coldest 
climates and thrive in practically all parts of the 
temperate zone. 
The soil best suited totheir cultureis a natural 
loam with a clay subsoil. They do not require 
humus or peat moss and manure should not be used 
in the soil preparation. A little bonemeal mixed 
with the soil at time of planting is best suited to 
the needs of the plants in after years. 
Planting should be done during the fall months 
for best results. From early September until 
garden work is interrupted by unfavorable winter 
weather. In planting, dig generous holes and 
loosen the soil in the bottom of the hole. Set the 
roots so the eyes are pointing upward and so that 
they will be about two to two and a half inches 
below the surface of the soil when planting is 
completed. Firm the soil about the roots. 
The following is a list arranged by color and
