Plcud SINGLE PEONIES and 
JletUftU&n the Moatni*Uf &eaio*t 
Few people are familiar with the beauty of the single Peony. When we see a good one, we often think it is 
prettier than the doubles because of its delicacy and wonderful substance. For both house decoration and garden 
effects, the single Peony has an artistic value different from the double form. The main bud opens first: but be¬ 
fore it has passed its prime the lateral buds also open, making the plant a mass of bloom. The singles hold well 
both in wind and sun. They survive heavy winds and rains apparently better than the doubles. They come into 
bloom at least a week before the earliest doubles. This lengthens the Peony blooming season. 
BETTY LOU (Brand) 
A medium tall plant, light green foliage and stem with a beautiful 
shaped large light pink flower that holds its color and form for 
days in the sun. Then as the flower starts to fade, the zoning of 
shades of pink and white becomes simply wonderful. Just a sug¬ 
gestion of Walter Faxon color in it. Each $5.00
