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. Each Per 10

OTHER SPECIES OF PEONIES 
Officinalis rubra plena. This is the very early deep 
crimson double variety that is so generally used 
by florists for cut-flowers in early April. It is the 
third species to bloom. 1 00 6 00 
Tenuifolia plena. This is the double form of tenui- 
folia. The bloom is of the same color, but the 
compactness of the bloom makes the color seem 
much deeper . 1 00 8 50
