Japanese and Single Peonies 
These Peonies have a single row of broad, bright petals, cupped 
or waved, about a center of golden stamens or a mass of curled 
crisp, gilded staminodes which give them a peculiar Japanese 
effect. They are splendid for landscape use because of their 
floriferousness, and because the stems are not bent or broken 
by heavy rains at flowering-time.
