Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flower Beautiful, 1930 Many if not most planters want results in the way of bloom without waiting too long m an existence here which at best 13 short; and where a division IS desirable if a larger root cannot be afforded, it is no less than absurd to address intelligent people with the claim that a division IS to be preferred for amateur or garden planting. It is true that in cut flower and commercial plantings these out or divided portions of roots are to be preferred and possibly even necessary, since otherwise 1n the purchase of hundreds and thousands of roots the cost would be prohibitive. The one-eyed root of a few years ago, which we ridiculed and never stooped to, has met a deserved death. This was followed by the small and large division. We now hear much of the well balanced, natural division but very few dealers tell us from what aged roots these will be taken. Every Peony propagator well knows that the best divisions are made from roots two, and m some cases, three years old. Where the roots are older than three years, the crown or upper portion of the root solidifies more or less so that desirable general division can no longer be made. Where divisions are made from clean two-year roots, no general pruning further than a reasonable shortening of the roots is necessary or even desirable. Where the roots are old, decayed, or more or less diseased, then an excuse for short pruning is a good thing for some growers to fall back u on.
