Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peonies Choice and Rare, World's Best Novelties and Standards Peonies may be planted any time from the middle of September until the ground freezes in the fall. From Sep tember 15 to November 15 is the best time, after the roots are well ripened, as they make a root growth before winter and bloom the following spring. The quality of my stock is splendid and all varieties are true to name. The Herbaceous. Peony is of simple culture and so easy to grow. But little instruction will be necessary in order that the beginner may produce the finest blooms. The Peony plant will grow and bloom under conditions in which most plants would die, and it will repay you in large, increased size, and beauty of bloom. We would suggest that it is well to excavate the proposed bed or holes two to two and one-half feet wide and possibly eighteen to twenty-four inches deep. Fill in with good garden soil which has been well worked up and mixed with well rotted stable manure. This should be mixed with the soil at the bottom of the holes or trench up to about twelve inches of the surface. Then incorporate some good earth mixed thoroughly with bone meal. After filling up the'hole, if the soil is very dry, it-is well that water should be poured in in order to have it settled thoroughly. _then fill up with good earth and bone meal to the level of the ground. Place the root in the center of the hole about the level of the surrounding top ground; then cover the root with about three or four inches of the good earth. Press. It down so that the soil may be compact around it. After this is done, sprinkle about one handful of bone meal on top and let alone. Be very careful not to let the manure come in contact with the root. The result will be that decay Will set in and destroy the root. Wherethe ground is very rich, it is not necessary to use manure, simply the bone meal. We would suggest never to plant the Peony in soil where Peonies have grown before, as complete failure will result. It is well to plant the roots in permanent beds and have the eyes from two to three inches below the surface of the 3011, and if planted in permanent beds, they should be from two to four feet apart; We have known very good results from planting them in a trench fifty feet long, just two feet. Apart. In order to cultivate in trenches of any length, the trenches should be at least four or five feet apart except where you plan to cultivate with a horse or tractor, then they should be three or four feet apart to permit cross cultivation.
