SINGLE PEONIES 
INGLE Peonies are extremely hardy, long lived, and generally 
satisfactory in any garden. They produce flowers in great abun- 
dance, even under unfavorable weather conditions in seasons of drought 
or heavy rains. While not so well-known as the Double Peonies they are 
by many considered even more beautiful. 
Their striking bi-color effects and simple forms win friends quickly 
everywhere, and they are coming into a definite vogue in many sections 
as highly desirable for cut flowers and in artistic arrangements.

SEMI-DOUBLE PEONY 
Collection 



Rare... Extremely Handsome... A BRILLIANT RED, 
A FINE SNOW WHITE 
A LOVELY SOFT PINK 

These hardy Northern Asiatic Peonies are often described as “wild 
roses with hearts of gold,” because of their semi-double arrangement of 
petals, with the prominent golden centers formed by stamens that have 
been transformed into petaloids. The large, substantial petals, usually in A II Th f, j 
two rows of overlapping layers, are of a rather heavy texture with a ree for 
smooth and shining surface like lustrous satin, often as bright as bur- 
nished metal. Well established in a permanent home, they will thrive and 
multiply for a lifetime, and yield heavy crops of gorgeous flowers in 
ever increasing volume. The illustration not only fails to do them fair 
justice: it creates a false impression of the commonplace in form and 
effect, but is the only illustration available and gives a faint idea of 
the form. They should always have a chance to make their appeal to 
the ciritical eye, in all the brave array of color and texture and elegance 
of form.
