Single Peonies 
Single Peonies are becoming more and more popular each year, many people considering them more artistic 
and beautiful than the double ones. They are exceptionally attractive, and not at all common in the garden, 
making them especially desirable. They are very airy and stand out prominently, producing their blossoms in 
great abundance. The great variety of colors, and their fantastic shapes make them ideal for the home garden. 
For Landscape effects, they are especially valuable, on account of their brilliant colors, and upright habit, and 
the fact they are not easily beaten down by storms. . . , .. . , , ,, . .
