Top-Notch Single and Semi-Double Peonies 
The Single Peonies are those with one or 
more rows of large petals, known as guards, 
or guard-petals, surrounding a centre of 
bright yellow stamens, which are a prominent 
part of the flower. In the semi-double Peonies 
these stamens have developed into narrow 
petaloids. These Peonies are extremely hand- 
some and unsurpassed for landscape effect. 
They hold well in rain and sun and have a 
pleasing habit of closing during the cool of 
the evening and opening again the following 
day. The following list comprises only the 
largest, finest and most outstanding of this 
group. A few of these are not rated because 
they were so rare as to be unknown to most 
of the judges at the time of making the 
American Peony Society Symposium.
