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.
