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 following is a 
selection of only the choicest kinds. Mostly of English origin. 
ALBIFLORA, THE BRIDE. Syn. La Fiancee 
(Des. 1902.); and 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 
to retain the name The Bride, to avoid confusion with 
the double white variety originated by Lemoine in 
1898. SI.50. See illustration facing page 37.
