Single and Japanese Peonies 
These two classes are very recommendable for delightful color effects. Massed in 
front of Evergreens or tall shrubs, their beauty can hardly be equalled by any other 
plant. The flowers are carried gracefully on slender stems and both the form and 
color of the flower, form fine material for those artistically inclined. There are 
numerous places in the Garden where these Peonies add a touch of exquisite beauty 
that no other plant could offer at that particular time of year.
