* The word “Japanese” is used to designate that type in 
which the stamens have been more or less transformed into stamin- 
odes or petaloids and which have no pollen bearing anthers. The 
term has no national significance. A few have substituted Victory, 
Oriental, Crested, or Imperial for this term all of which leads to end- 
less confusion and is condemned by the American Peony Society as 
unauthorized. A single peony is one which has one or two rows of 
guard petals and a center of stamens and pollen bearing anthers. 
All peonies listed here have been fully tested and are accredited 
members of the list of the World’s Best Peonies. They are listed by 
colors and by types under each color. The ratings are given first, 
then the variety name, the originator and year of introduction, 
remarks, fragrance is ‘noted sometimes when known, then height of 
plant, time of blooming and price each.
