EUROPEAN PEONIES 
These varieties are all early flowering, blooming in May and the first week in 
June. They form an attractive group, some having broad leaves like the Chinese 
Peonies, while others have delicately cut foliage. Most of them are rather dwarf, and 
their deep red or pink blossoms give a very beautiful effect in a border. The addition 
of these varieties make the Peony season two weeks longer, and they should be 
included in every collection. 50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen.

The single peonies are becoming very fashionable of late, especially in England. 
They are earlier than the double ones, and some are exceedingly beautiful, rivalling 
the wild rose in loveliness. If cut when in bud and kept in a cool place in water, they 
will last a long time. Messrs. Barr & Sons have raised some very fine ones, considered 
the best in England. We have listed some of their best, which we have marked
