WEST NEWBURY, MASS. 65 
Single Peonies 
Price per dozen at ten times the single rate, e. §. $1.00 
each; $10.00 per dozen. 
Prices quoted are for large divisions (L. D.) consisting 
of strong three to five-eye divisions, and one-year (1 yr.) 
plants, which are divisions grown for one year or divi- 
sions equal to those. 
For two-year clumps add 50 per cent to one-year price. 
Three-year clumps at double the price of one-year 
plants. 
The single flowers, or those having a single row of petals 
with a center of yellow stamens, are the first to bloom, but 
will last for some time, for as the terminal flower fades the 
side or lateral buds open. For garden effects they are most 
satisfactory. They are more individual and withstand the 
rains and winds where the heavier doubles might be beaten 
down. Inthe early morning and at dusk the flowers are closed, 
resembling large rosebuds, and are especially alluring. If cut 
when in bud and brought into the house they keep a week or 
more. We have tested varieties for many years and list below 
those we have found to be best.
