PEONIES—Continued 
ATTRACTION. (Hollis 1906.) (See illustration on 
page 47.) One of the very finest of the Japanese 
type, termed “Wonderful Glowing Suns” as they are 
entirely distinct from the other types, most of 
them have cup shaped guard petals, which sur¬ 
round a mass of petaloids or filamental petals, 
like a crown of thorns. They are yet compara¬ 
tively little known to the general public, and mostly 
found in large collections of connoisseurs and Peony 
enthusiasts, where they awaken the admiration of 
all who behold them for the first time. Very large, 
medium compact, flat blossom. General impression, 
crimson pink with golden center, but according to 
color chart, the guards are clear tyrian rose, center 
same color as guards, tipped with yellow, which fades

to tall. $2.00 each. Recommended.
