TOP NOTCH SINGLE PEONIES 
The Single Peonies are those with one or more rows of 
large petals, known as guards, or guard-petals, surrounding 
a centre of bright yellow stamens, which are a prominent 
part of the flower. The single Peonies are extremely hand¬ 
some and unsurpassed for landscape effect. They hold well in 
rain and sun and have a pleasing habit of closing during the 
cool of the evening and opening again the following day. The 
following list comprises only the largest, finest and most out¬ 
standing of this group. A few of these are not rated because 
they were so rare at the time of making the American Peony 
Society Symposium.
