The richest soil is none too good for the Peony and soils which retain a moderate degree of moisture are the best; inducing strong stems and large flowers. In setting out the roots, a space should be given large enough to allow them to develop into clumps, say a circle of three feet diameter. The crowns of the roots should be about three' inches below the surface of the soil when planted, and the earth should be firmed well all around them. After planting, the bed or border should be Lightly covered with coarse manure and leaves. TIME FOR PLANTING. The best time for planting Peonies is in September and October because they will then make root growth before winter sets in, and bloom the following Spring.
