GROW CHINESE PE0NIES
RN [. NJ. BENNINGTON

The old-time 'piny" was a rank
looking, evil-smelling plant, with II
large red flower of stiff, waxy appear
ance, blooming generally in May. 1t
was not beautiful. but 1t was hardy
and pushed its way out Of the ground
In the spring as soon as the frost
would permit.
Peony is the botanical name for this
plant. Varying forms Of II have been
In cultivation in the celestial and flow
ering kingdoms of China and Japan for
a long period of time.
In China these forms have been
crossed and recr0ssed thousands of
times. The hybrids that are the re-
suit of these centuries of crossing are
the most beautiful flowers in the
world.
While travelling in China several
years ago | had the rare good fortune
to be In the interior during the bloom
ing season of these Towering plants,
and / was so much impressed with
them that / purchased 1000 Of the
most striking and popular colors for
the home test.
These arrived in good condition and
were carefully planted on my farm in
Virginia. They tiOurished from the
start. readily sold blooms last year
for $500 dozen. Most of these went
to New York and Boston. At this
price for the flowers an acre of estab-
lished plants would produce splen-
did income.
The idea underlying the growing of
these flowers is TO get the blooms
early and ship them TO cities North,
where the demand for flowers in May
ending Decoration day. May 30, is SO
great as TO exhaust the entire output
1t is the one season Of the year when
flowers are scarce.
The peony is the only flower Of
prominence that blooms early enough
in the season and the one flower that
defes dollhouse culture. II Is an out
door plant and will not succeed when
put under glass. and therefore cannot
easily be forced by artificial means
When planted on land that is quick
to respond 10 the first rays of the sun
In the spring, land slopIng to the south
but made rich and powerful to pro.
duce strong vegetable growth, the
peony will produce flowers to ship
about May 1S.
At this season of the year there is
not flower of any var!etv to be seen
in any northern market unless 1t comes
from further South.
The blooming season lasts about II
days and is generally at its height
just before Decoration Day.

quire but little care, and being legum-
nous, enrich the soil.
Once in the ground, there they re-
main for five years. No other flower
is more deserving of popularity. So
easy to raise that the novice can raise
it, so permanent that clump has been
known to bloom annually for half n
century. SO hardy that no protection
is required in the bitterest of winters,
and so free from disease and fungus
that one is spared the labor Of fighting
disease.

THE NEW GLADl0LAS

Those who are familiar only with
the Od-fashioned gladiolus viii be
agreeably surprised on trial of some
Of the new varieties. They are now
found in many colors, with markings
and blotchings worthy of some rare
orchid.
There is exemplifei the purity ~
they are more easily grown and the
original cost is less.
For cutting, select spikes which have
only one or two flowers open; then by
removing the older blossoms as they
/ begin to wIther, the spike will daily
disclose new flowers, the display last
ing for a week or more.
The gladioluS is especially adapted
to formal decoration. The bulbs will
thrive in almost any soil, providing
the blossoms are witnered they are
not unsightly.
Those having base Of white or
slightly tinted, fleckcd with the richer
hues, are always favorites, and the
variety is almost lnnumerahe. The
colors are almost universally clear
while the markings are of intense
beauty
Some of the LeMoines are quite
hardy and may be left in the ground
during the winter; although az a rule
there will be more vigor during sue
ceedIng years II the plants are re-
moved to a dry, warm place during the
winter.
The gladiolus delights in a sandy
loan, although any well-drained soil
will answer It's purpose. Plant at In
tervals of two weeks until the end OF
June, placing the bulbs from to @
Inches beneath the surface according
to their size and the character of the
| soil.
After the hard frostS come, take up
the bulbs dry them, cut Off the tops
and pack In paper sacks in n frost
proof closet.
