Japanese Peonies 
This is a type of Herbaceous Peony developed from the single type. In 
the process of development, the stamens and anthers have lost their character 
as such, and have become transformed into narrow, thick petaloids or into 
narrow petals tipped with vestiges of the yellow anthers without pollen, and 
are surrounded by five or more broad guard petals. 
They are strong growers, and many fine varieties, embracing a wide 
range of color, have been imported to this country from Japan; some seed¬ 
lings of exceptional merit have also been produced by American growers. 
Grow under the same conditions as the so-called Chinensis Peonies and 
require the same treatment.
