Japanese 
Peonies 
There exists a great deal of confusion as 
to what is a Japanese Peony and wherein 
this type of Peony differs from the single. 
The single Peony consists of either 1 or 
2 rows of guard petals enclosing a tuft of 
yellow stamens. 
The Japanese Peony consists of either 1 
or 2 rows of guard petals enclosing a 
tufted center of narrow petaloids 
of various colors, or of narrow 
petals edged with remnants of 
anthers. 
Both the singles and the Japa¬ 
nese types are earlier than the 
doubles and are also more artistic 
than the doubles for decorative and 
bouquet work.

“Krinkled White” arrived safely and it surely is a fine 
large root—no half-size about that. It makes me want to 
order more, but for the present I must be content to dream 
about the choice ones I would like to get.
