SINGLE PEONIES 
Single Peonies are becoming more and more popular, many people considering them more artistic 
and beautiful than the double ones. They are very free bloomers, and as cut-flowers they are very 
effective. Especially valuable for landscape effects, on account of their brilliant colors and upright habit, 
not being beaten down by heavy storms, as is the case of the heavier-flowered double varieties. The fol¬ 
lowing is a selection of only the choicest kinds. Mostly raised by Kelway & Son. 
ALBIFLORA, THE BRIDE. Syn. La Fiancee 
(Des. 1902); also Snowflake (Kel.). Very large; 
pure white. Tall, vigorous grower, free bloomer, 
very early. Finest single white. Distinct from the 
primitive species Albiflora, being the taller grower, 
much larger, finer flower. Identical with the single 
white sent out by Dessert as La Fiancee. I prefer, 
however, to retain the name The Bride, to avoid con¬ 
fusion with the double white variety originated by 
Lemoine in 1898. $2.

large, single. Deep amaranth-red, 4(168). Medium
