RARE JAPANESE PEONIES 
The so-called Japanese Peonies are those which have one or 
two rows of petals and centers of stamens much thickened. 
These latter are almost devoid of pollen and oftentimes make a 
thick cushion of golden-yellow. The effect is beautiful and dis¬ 
tinct, and they continue to bloom throughout the Peony 
season. Although strong growers, they propagate slowly and 
the stocks are usually limited.

8.5 curved yellow petaloids. A fine Japanese variety. 
L.D. $1.50. 1 yr. $2.50.
