PEONIES — CONTINUED 
CUT-FLOWER VARIETIES:—Many varieties of Peonies, even some of those carry¬ 
ing .the highest ratings, have certain peculiarities of growth and flower which 
make them entirely unsuited for growing for commercial cut flowers. The best 
varieties for cut flowers must be reliable and prolific bloomers with long strong 
upright stems, good foliage, and firm petals of good substance. They must open 
well when cut in bud and must handle well in shipment and in storage. We 
are listing below a number of varieties that have proven their value as com¬ 
mercial producers of cut flowers, the varieties in black-face type being those 
that we particularly recommend.
