UNUSUAL JAPANESE PEONIES 
The so-called Japanese Peonies are those which have 
one or two rows of petals and centers of stamens much 
thickened. These latter are almost devoid of pollen and 
in some varieties make thick cushions of golden yellow. 
In others the stamens are self-color tipped or crusted 
with yellow. The effects are beautiful and distinct and 
are charming for the garden and as cut flower decora¬ 
tions.
