IwatTis XUFTI JO® Spring Planting of Peonies
I Although fall is the ideal time to, j plant peonies, they can be planted' lin early spring , with good results 11 a few things are observed. Peonies bloom in June, during July eyes begin to develop, and by i August, in average years, the eyes. jhave attained a length of one-quart-: jer to one-half inch. It is at this stage that they may be most sue-, cessfully moved. During the very early spring the eyes begin to grow, and when taken up, for instance in April, they j are so ’ >ng that it would be difficult to handle the plants without Injuring or breaking their eyes. Therefore, if peony plants in one's garden are to be transferred to a j new location they should be dug just as early as it is possible to dig 1 them and they should be handled very carefully. Most new plants that are furnished by the commercial grower for spring planting .have been dug before growth starts and carefully stored in peat moss In some cool place.

I Peony plants set out in spring do not have the chance to develop and flower tn the natural manner the first season, and they have little time to get well rooted before the hot weather comes. It is well not to expect any blooms from the ' plant the first year—in fact, it is Just as well not to let the peony plants flower until they have become well established. . If a dry summer follows and no 'special care is given to the plants [they soon suffer and either die or 1 receive a severe setback. There--1 tore, extra care should be given to i! spring-planted peonies to enable 'them to get started under these , unusual difficulties. When this care is given springI planted peonies the plants will suri vive the summer and develop into ■ sturdy, attractive specimens, bright- ;: ening the garden each year with i i their wealth of magnificent flowers.
