Center Point, lowa Peonies 
PEONIES. It is wise to plant the better kinds of peonies for they cost only a 
few cents more and last almost forever. They should be planted with the 
buds about an inch from the surface using good garden soil.

Society, 10.0 being perfect. (E) means early, (M) midseason, and (L) stands
