I N the Japanese Peonies the stamens of the single 
Peonies have been developed into narrow petaloids, 
surrounded by one or more guard petals, being 
somewhat like the singles, but more developed. The 
varieties here listed are all true to name and distinct 
and different; each variety being a real acquisition to 
any Peony collection. Japanese Peonies are beautiful 
beyond description, and they must be seen to appre¬ 
ciate their great beauty. Only the very finest varieties 
are included in this collection. Never before has such 
a fine collection of Japanese Peonies been offered at 
such moderate prices. These Japanese Peonies are all 
mid-season flowering. Those not rated were so rare as 
to be unknown to most of the judges at the time of 
making the American Peony Society Symposium
