BRAND’S BEAUTIFUL PEONIES 
Toro No Maki (Jap.), Albiflora (Single), Harriet Olney (Single). 
Good Single Peonies 
Few people are familiar with the beauty of the single 
Peony. When we see a good one, we often think it is 
prettier than the doubles because of its delicacy and won¬ 
derful substance. For both house decoration and garden 
effects, the single Peony has an artistic value different 
from the double form. The main bud opens first; but be¬ 
fore it has passed its prime the lateral buds also open, 
making the plant a mass of bloom. The singles hold well 
both in wind and sun. They survive heavy winds and 
rains apparently better than the doubles. They come into 
bloom at least a week before the earliest doubles. This 
lengthens the Peony blooming season. In the past, many 
have hesitated to order the singles because they were 
expensive, and they could buy the more massive doubles 
for less. But we have greatly reduced our prices on 
singles, having multiplied our stocks, and we now offer 
the very best of the single varieties at prices within the 
means of all.
