HORSFORD, CHARLOTTE, VERMONT Hardy Perennials 21 Paeonia, Festiva Maxima P^ONIA albiflora (P. chinensis). ChinesePeonies. Among the many popular herbaceousplants it would be hard to find one that fits intoany position in the garden or grounds like thePeony. The gorgeous display of flowers in theirseason is very effective, while the dark greenfoliage is at all times attractive. What betterfrontage for shrubs or, in fact, for any largeor small plantation, than Peonies? They arealso well suited to massing in beds by them-selves. While Peonies may be planted with goodresults in spring or fall, there is probably no bet-ter time than from August 20 to the middle ofSeptember. Give the borders or beds a deepand thorough spading; yes, trench the ground,working in a liberal supply of the best decom-posed manure, and again a top-dressing of thesame in the spring. Avoid planting too deep; acouple of inches of earth over the buds is suffi-cient. Don
