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 some¬ 
what 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 collec¬ 
tion. Japanese Peonies are beautiful beyond description, 
and they must be seen to appreciate 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.
