THE PE0NY AND ITS CULTURE.
BY e. VAN BENTHUYsEN.


Among all our herbaceous plants
there Is probably not one that stands
higher In popular favor than the
peOny. And It richly deserves Its pop
ularity, because Of Its great hardness,
Its ease Of culture Its magnificent
range Of rich and delicate colors, its
wonderful TSofuslon Of bloom and Its
tenacity Of life.
The writer knows many specimens
Of the old variety, cultivated by our
grandmothers, extensively, that have
been growing In the same place in the
old gardens for more than II century,
and. without exception, those that
received good care are as vigorous and
healthy today as any young plants,
and year inter year they give II glo-
rfous crop Of fine flowers.
Many Of these old plants have grown
to be clumps five and six feet across
and one can often count hundreds Of
blossoms and buds In various stages of
development on each plant.
Such plants as these are what Is
needed to make the attractions of
garden permanent. There Is no other
hardy herbaceous plant that can be
used with such fine effect In the
border.
Scattered here and there among the
shrubbery, II produces most satsfac-
tory show of color at time when
most shrubs are not In bloom.
Probably, however, II is most strik-
ingly effective when planted in large
beds. If It can be given background
Of evergreens its rich colors show up
to great advantage. Shrubbery Of any
kind as background, brings its
colors into strong relief, and one
should always plant, If possible, with
that aim In view.
If partially shaded, all the better.
The culture of the peony is simple
In the extreme. II does best In
rather stiff loan, or almost any soil,
preferring II to lighter soil, because
II likes to feel the earth firm about
Its roots.
While II prefers such n soil, 1t will
do very well indeed in sandy loan, or
almost any soil, provided II is rich
In the elements of plant development.
To grow good peonies, one must make
liberal use Of fertilizers, preferably
old, well-rotted manure. Unless this
is done you cannot expect u vigorous
growth Of stalks and foliage, or gen
erous crops of large, richly colored
flowers.
1t Is hardly possible TO use too much
manure about 1t, If 1t is old enough to
be black and crumbleS easily under
the application of the hoe. 1t should
be dug into the soil about the roots
Of the plants, taking care however,
not to dig too close or deep enough
to disturb them.
There is no plant that resents
Of Its roots more. Dig In
to clump to secure n toe" for
neighbOr, and very often the parent
plant will refuse to bloom the second
season.
SO hardy is the peony that II is
not necessary to give 1t winter pro-
lection at the extreme north, II its
roots are put deep into the ground.
II given shallow planting, the frost
will often heave them badly unless
covered with coarse manure or mulch
IF some kind.
The roots should be at least six
inches below the surface. While win
Ter protection Is not necessary, It Is
advisable because 1t prevents taxing
Ne vitality of the plant excessively,
N its efforts to withstand severe
winter.

GARDEN WORKING NOTES
BY E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Propagate rubber plants this month.
Pack handful or two of moss around
the stem and keep II well soaked. In
II short time roots will appear. Saw
Il flower pot In half and bind the
plants or roofing portion Of the stem.
Fill with very light soil with plenty
Of sand and keep thoroughly watered.
During the winter the roots will take
good hold and In the spring the stem
may be cut Off level with the bottom
Of the pot.
The outdoor carnations may be
potted up this month.
Cuttings from geraniums may be
made early In September in most eli
mates.
Watch the tender greenhouse plants
that are In the open and take them up
before the last days Of summer are
passed.
Have the pots ready for the bulbs
which must be taken up soon.

the ground is dry.
Never allow roses to remain on the

All plants that are intended for win

Pick the pansies and nasturtiums
every day If you want to have plenty

The best way to kill weeds now Is
TO pull them up by hand.

These Scouts began planting in Febru-

vest when heavy frost about the first
of May unset their calculations. New
ertheless they are making good. Each
Scout has from one-eighth to full
acre of ground under cultivation.

4 of Far Rockaway, n. Y, to give $50,
which II had raised for the purchase
of wireless outfit, for the use of
families made needy by the war. New
ertheless, the motion received the
unanimous support of the troop.
