SINGLE PEONIES 
The single varieties have been much neglected in favor 
of the double sorts, but this should not be, as they are 
quite as showy, and as single specimens or for massing 
in the shrubberies they are unexcelled. The blooms, 
from 6 to 8 inches in diameter, are held well above the 
foliage on stems sufficiently strong to hold them erect, 
even after heavy rains, when the double varieties droop 
to the ground. The flowers are of delicate texture and 
coloring, and if cut when in the bud, open well in the 
house and are quite dainty and desirable, especially for 
table decoration. All have prominent golden stamens.

OTHER SPECIES OF PEONIES

double variety that is so generally used by florists for cut- 
flowers in early April. It is the third species to bloom... 1 00 
Tenuifolia plena. This is the double form of tenuifolia. The 
bloom is of the same color, but the compactness of the 
bloom makes the color seem much deeper. 1 00
