arrangement, Care an& planting of peoniee
Peonies may be planted in almost every conceivable place, as
single specimens, in large or small beds, against shrubbery, or along
the walks on the lawn, or in long rows bordering walks, drives, and on
division lines, or producing broad landscape effects in the open field.
Mass planting, however, always produces the grandest effects, especially
when placed before backgrounds of trees and shrubs.
They thrive in any good garden soil, unless too sandy, and in
almost any situation except directly under large trees. They should
not, however, be planted in soil where peonies have recently been grown
before.
The very best time to plant Peonies is from September 10th, when
the roots are ripe for digging, until the ground is frozen. The earlier
they are planted, the better will they become established — they start
growing at once. Can also be set in Spring, providing it is done very
eai ly; as soon as the ground is in good condition to work.
DISTANCE TO PLANT will vary according to the variety. Tall
varities naturally require more room. A very good rule to follow is
to set them the distance of their own height. If a variety is thirty to
thirty-five inches high set them thirty inches apart each way and they
will have ample room, but if wanted in one continuous row, then six
inches less in every case will do; that i^, twenty-four inches apart in
the row will give them enough room, as they can spread out on the
sides.
Holes large enough to receive the roots should be dug about fifteen
to eighteen inches deep, and as much across. If very dry, fill this with
water before planting, and let it all soak in. Then place the root in
the center, just deep enough so the eyes are two or three inches below
the surface; fill in with good, fine soil to the eyes of the root and press
or tramp the earth firmly around the root; water some more and let it
soak in, then fill the hole level full with loose earth without packing it,
and the job is done. Keep the top always loose and free from weeds
and grass. Too deep planting should be carefully avoided, as this is
often the cause of shy blooming.
MANURE should not come in contact with the roots, but can be
used carefully as a top dressing every fall. Do not place it on top of
the plant. A little bonemeal may be applied in the fall and pulverized
sheep manure worked into the soil around the plants in the spring.
The ground around your plants should always be kept loose by
frequent hoeing and cultivation. Peonies should have at least the same
care in this respect as a crop of corn or potatoes. Your reward will be
flowers of farge size and more brilliant in color.
Exhibition flowers can be had by DISBUDDING; that is, pinching
off all sidebuds when the size of peas, leaving only the center one on
each stalk to develop and bloom.
