A-erhaceeut 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 to their culture is 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 
carefully selected from among hundreds of vari- 
eties in commerce and contains a representative 
list of the choicest varieties to be had in each of the 
color classifications.
