SUBSTITUTIONS

We do not substitute without your permission.

ORDER EARLY

To be sure of getting the varieties you want, we recommend placing your order as early as possible.

TIME TO PLANT

Peonies may be planted with perfect safety any time from the middle of August till the ground freezes in the fall, September and Oc- tober is the best time, as they make root- growth before winter, and bloom the follow- ing spring.

CAUTION

After being transplanted, Peonies will not produce typical blooms the first season, many fine double varieties throwing single or semi- double flowers, and it is not till the third year that the finest flowers are produced, and the taking of notes and making comparisons in a large collection should not be attempted be- fore then.

CULTURE

This is so simple that little need be said. They will abundantly repay good care and nourish- ment, but they resent an over-abundance of fresh manure too near the roots. A division of the clumps at long intervals when they be- come so crowded as to interfere with freedom, and the soil kept loose and free from weeds is all that is necessary. Where grown for cut- flowers, they should not be disturbed oftener than is necessary. Where they are grown for the sale of roots, they may be divided every second or third year. Plant so that the eyes will be 2 inches below the surface.
