Japanese Peonies 
A charming type in which we specialize ; our mother stock 
imported direct from Sakata. The opened flowers are of extra 
wide spread, with one or more layei's of broad guard petals 
which act as cup to the mounded center. In this class the 
stamens and anthers ai'e greatly enlarged into narrow, thick, 
twisted petaloids of various colors, forming a dense cushion. 
11 —Yoochi-no-tsuki (“Shadow of Moon in a Rippled 
- --- Pool.”) 6- to 8-inch flowers with 
prominent cushion center ; white, occasionally flushed pink, 
with amber-cream petaloids. 75c. 
15— Fuyajo (“A Sleepless Castle.”) 9.2. This is the darkest 
. J . and richest of our group. Broad rounded guards 
of velvety mahogany-red. The fine, curly petaloids form a 
conspicuous, dense center ; garnet, streaked on reverse side 
and heavily tipped with light bronze. $2.50. 
20— Fuji-no-mine (“Top of the Fuji Mountain.”) A very 
- - -— large and free blooming sort; white, 
with rich cream center. 75c each. 
42 —“Rose of Nippon” A wonderfully free bloomer, a 
■■ persistent mass of brilliant fl¬ 
inch flowers. Very deep rose, the broadly prominent center 
darkened by carmine, and illumined by countless starpoints 
of both silver and gold. Many centers are tufted. $2.00. 
64— Shiro-Sangai By far the choicest of the whites. Its 
——— lily cup guards are milk-white; the ex¬ 
tensive central tuft of narrow petaloids buff, noticeably 
ci’ested with gold. Eight-inch flowers are normal. $2.50. 
88— Oki-no-nami (“Waves in the Far-Off Sea.”) Tall, free 
— flowering and showy. Pale hydrangea- 
pink rippled on white ; with full, fine cut center of peach- 
pink and cream. $1.00 each.
