Double Peonies 
HOLLAND GROWN STURDY YOUNG ROOTS WITH 3 TO 5 EYES 
Ready for shipment in September 
Culture: Peonies should be set so that the buds are definitely not below two or three inches under 
surface of soil. New plants should never be set in ground from which established peony clumps have 
been recently removed. The Peony likes rich ground, but the roots must not be placed in contact with 
manure. Some protection from sunlight helps the flowers to retain the full delicacy of their colouring, 
which fades out in full sunlight. On the other hand, the peony detests having its ground invaded by 
tree roots. 
The number following each name is the percentage rating given by the American Peony Society.
