JAPANESE PEONIES 
Including direct importations from Japan, and Kelway’s “Imperial" and Hollis’ New Seedling 
Japanese Peonies 
A new race of Peonies of a distinct type, forming a separate class, intermediate between the single 
and the double types, and distinguished by their stamens being transformed into narrow petaloids. 
Japan has sent us many rare and beautiful flowers in recent years, but among all the wonderful new 
forms that have come from that land of flowers there are none so distinctively “Japanese” in their artistic 
daintiness of coloring and formation as the Japan Peonies. 
They are as yet comparatively little known to the general public, and mostly found in the large col¬ 
lections of connoisseurs and Peony enthusiasts, where they awaken the admiration of all who behold them 
for the first time. Most of them have cup-shaped guard petals, filled with a mass of petaloids, or filamental 
petals, brilliantly colored. A few are irregular in form, and striped with the most fantastic coloring. It 
is very difficult to obtain these varieties true to name, but the following may be relied upon to be true to 
the descriptions given, as I have been growing them for several years, and have taken great pains to correct 
all mistakes. I have retained the Japanese names, with their translation, prefixed by the American names, 
which were given to this set by the Peony Society of the American Florists.
