Single and Japanese Peonies 
In foliage, habit of growth and bloom, these are similar to the Double Peonies. The Singles 
bloom very early and freely and can be depended on to yield good, typical flowers every year 
regardless of weather conditions. The flowers have but one or at the most two rows of large 
petals with a wealth of golden, pollen-bearing stamens in center, making a graceful and very 
attractive bloom which is fast becoming the idol of many of our most cultured Peony-lovers. 
The true Japanese varieties likewise have but one or two rows of outer petals, but the 
stamens, instead of bearing pollen, are developed to form a center cushion or tuft of narrow 
petals called staminodes. The center is highly colored in striking contrast with the outside 
petals. Both the Single and Japanese varieties are valuable for accent in garden decoration. 
Stocks of these varieties are at present in great demand. They propagate slowly and hence 
prices are not apt to be lower for quite a few years.
