PEONY
Mrs. I. H. Rainwater
Peony, common name for Paeonia,
is a member of the Butter-cup fam
ily. They are most popular and sat
isfactory of garden perennials.
1— Propagation.
Easiest and most, satU'actory way
of propagating is by division of
large thick roots which may be di
vided in the fall any time after Au
guest 15th. Cut off the leaves and
separate into as many divisions as
can be made with an eye to each
one. Don t throw away the tubers
without an eye, but plant them and
sometimes they make growth in j
about two years time.
Grafting peonies is an interesting
experience. When new and rare
varieties are to be rapidly increased,
an eye of the variety desired is in
serted into the tuber of some strong
growing variety, after removing all
eyes. This is done in August. These
plants should be placed in cold
frames for the winter and trans
planted in rows the next spring.
2— Fertilization.
Peonies do best in a deep rich
(well fertilized with well rotted cow
manure) and rather moist loam.
They do like some clay and it is
well to mix about a third clay with
soil for each plant. Trench your bed
or hole 2 and 3 feet deep and put in
at least 2 inches of cinders then fill
with rich soil. Planting tuber only
2 Inches under the surface. It is best
not to let plants bloom the first
year, but if they do bloom, a copious
anfount of water must be given at
the blooming time. An annual top
dressing of well decayed cow ma
nure should be put on in December,
and well worked in the following
spring. This is not so much for
fertilization as for humus in the
soil.
3—Varieties.
The many varieties available now,
ringing from white to deepest red
in so many forms and sizes give
great opportunity for color schemes.
With the ratings now established by
the American Peony Society, a very
dependable guide has been give that
will enable any one to make a se
lection of worthwhile, dependable
varieties. Practically all peony cat
alogues list these ratings.
4.—Diseases.
Very few flowers are as free from j
disease as the Peony. The most de- ■
structive is botrytis blight which
often attacks the stems, buds and
leaves. This usually appears in the!
spring, causing the stems to turn
black and wilt. Then we often have
the so-called bud blasts, the buds I
being well developed then turning
brown and fail to open. We have al
so bud rot in the extreme wet spring.
A sure remedy for these various
diseases has not been found, but
the most practical thing I know is
sanitation, the removal of all dead
leaves, and stems and the com
plete destruction in the fall of all
debris. Then a thorough spraying
around the plants- with bichloride of
mercury—1 tablet to a pint of wa
ter will keep diseases from spread
ing and insures better plants for
next year.
After blooming they should be
fertilized well. Two trowels full of
super phosphat should be placed
around each plant and water in
thoroughly now they are forming
their buds for another year and
they relish a supply of moisture.
Somewhere in your garden there
is a spot you might well dedicate to
the beginning of a life time garden,
for Peony gardens are life time gar
dens.
Either beginnings of or additions
to peony collections cost strangely
little when one takes into consider
ation their permanence, their econ- j
omv of time and effort, their soul
satisfying beauty and marvelous
adaptability to any garden.
Century upon century the Peony
has claimed its heritage unchal
lenged as the “Queen of all the
Flowers."
PEONIES
Mrs Henry Odum
From Charlices of Ivory
To the red of a stormy sky,
Blended to rose and stately
The world to beautify.
They drink white wine of dew drops
And meet each coming day,
Peonies— Handsome fellows
In gallant, noble array!
In silver silence, please discern
Beneath their stateliness,
The royal bloom, the peony
The rarest charm possess.
Shadow'ed! Gone! God s own flower !
No perfume! Yet leaving trace;
An utterance of beauty linked
In love on Memory’s face.
