Book Description

Excerpt from Burpee's Bulbs: Fall 1923 What looks prettier than a well-grown Peony plant covered with a mass of gigantic flowers? The Peony comes into bloom at that time of the year which makes 1t an extremely desirable flower for use in connection with our national holiday, Memorial Day. With ordinary care the plants will bear their massive, fully double flowers m great profusion from year to year. Plant the roots during August, September, or early October m a bed well prepared and enriched with plenty of well-rottedg manure. Cover the crowns with not more than 2 inches of good soil. The flowers, when cut, will last a long time in water. Most varieties as soon as they begin to open up are exquisitely scented and those offered below are the best m their color class. Write for a free copy of the Burpee leaflet on Peonies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
