In a recent issue of The Review a correspondent stated that peonies would do well if replanted on the same ground after dividing. My experience is to the contrary. The peony in grow- ing throws off poisonous excreta which make it desirable to change the soil. I think the ground should not be used again for three years. If one has a bed which it is desirable to keep in the same position, the soil can be dug out to the depth of one foot or more and replaced with soil from another part of the garden. In this way a bed can be kept in the same place. In field cul- ture rotation is much better. Most, if not fill, of the root-gall on peonies came out of Lemoine's nursery, at Nancy, France. He had only about two acres of ground, all told, and in it for years he planted, over and over again, peonies and shrubs and gladioli in the most intensive cultivation. It really was a curse to the peony roots. I understand that certain nurserymen have practiced the Lemoine method and planted peonies over and over again for twenty-five years in the same ground. This, if true, is a wonderful e
