In the Japanese Peonies the stamens of the single Peonies 
have been developed into narrow petaloids, surrounded by 
one or more guard petals, being somewhat 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 collection. Japanese Peonies are 
beautiful beyond description, and they must be seen to ap¬ 
preciate their great beauty. Only the very finest varieties are 
included in this collection. Never before has such a fine col¬ 
lection of Japanese Peonies been offered at such moderate 
prices. These Japanese Peonies are all midseason 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.
