Japanese Peonies 
A charming type in which we specialize; our mother stock 
imported direct from Sakata. The opened flowers are of extra 
wide spread, with one or more layers of broad guard petals 
which act as cup to the mounded center. In this class the 
stamens and anthers are greatly enlarged into narrow, thick, 
twisted petaloids of various colors, forming a dense cushion. 
11—Yoochi-no-tsuki (“Shadow of Moon in a Rippled 
- - - Pool.”) 6- to 8-inch flowers with 
prominent cushion center; white, occasionally flushed pink, 
with amber-cream petaloids. 75c. 
15—Fuyajo (“ A Sleepless Castle.”) 9.2. This is the darkest 
■ ■ ■ and richest of our group. Broad rounded guards 
of velvety mahogany-red. The fine, curly petaloids form a 
conspicuous, dense center ; garnet, streaked on reverse side 
and heavily tipped with light bronze. $3.00. 
17—Rashooman (“ A Devil Castle.”) Late; very tall, 
— ' ■ ■ - free, and emphatically contrastive. The 
Chrysanthemum-like center of solferino, thickly studded and 
lined old gold, makes a lively offset to the 2-rowed incurv¬ 
ing guards of intense, unblemished crimson. $3.00 each. 
20—Fuji-no-mine (“Top of the Fuji Mountain.”) A very 
- - - — large and free blooming sort; white, 
with rich cream center. 75c each. 
42—“Rose of Nippon” A wonderfully free bloomer, a 
■ ■' — ■ - ■ — persistent mass of brilliant fl¬ 
inch flowers. Very deep rose, the broadly prominent center 
darkened by carmine, and illumined by countless starpoints 
of both silver and gold. Many centers are tufted. $2.00 
each. 
64— ShirO-Sangai By far the choicest of the whites. It3 
— . ilily cup guards are milk white; the ex¬ 
tensive central tuft of narrow petaloids buff, noticeably 
crested with gold. Eight-inch flowers are normal, produced 
very freely. $2.00 each. 
88—Oki-no-nami (“Waves in the Far-Off Sea,”) Tall, free 
— ' 1 flowering and showy. Pale hydrangea- 
pink rippled on white; with full, fine cut center of peach 
pink and cream. $1.00 each.

- cushion a yellower gold. $2.00.
