NEW SINGLE JAPANESE P/EONIAS 



This new class of "Single Japanese Paeonias" which we 



have imported direct from Japan, will be a revelati' n of beauty to most of our 

 customers. The flowers are simply marvellous in point of size, gorgeous and 

 also dainty colors. They measure 7, 8 and g inches across, the petals being of 

 great substance and just crinkled enough to gi e them — m the sunUght — the 

 sheen and effect of crumpled satin. A large bunch of yellow stamens m the 

 centre of each flower- like a golden coronet— greatly adds to the charming 

 effect. Some colors are delicate and pleasing, as well as some that are rich 

 and gorgeous in tne extreme. We have, however, limited our list to six of the 

 most distinct of all, wh'ch we highly recommend.
