The Peony the‘ Atzg of Flowers” and ‘* Every Body's

for lawn and garden decoration. Their great hardiness, 
ease of culture, luxuriant growth, handsome form and 
magnificent flowers will always keep them in the front rank 
of popularity. This new class of “Single Japanese 
Peonias” which we have imported direct from Japan, 
will be a revelation of beauty to most of our customers

deners after years of careful hybridizing and culture, and 
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 give them—in the sunlight—the sheen and effect
