 large, and are best compared to the semi-double Peonies in general 

 form. They all flower very freely and are borne on long, 

 strong stems, making excellent material for cutting as well 

 as for garden decoration. The varieties ofiered include the 

 best of the standard sorts as well as the latest introductions. 



All of these varieties will be supplied in dormant 

 field roots of proper planting size.
