JAPANESE PEONIES 
Japanese peonies are not as generally known as they should be but are becoming 
more popular each year and have awakened great interest and enthusiasm among 
those who have grown the better varieties on established plants. They come in 
many colors and shades, and as a plant their growth is very much like the Chinensis 
varieties. They are just as hardy as any peony grown. The stems are strong and 
they hold the flowers perfectly erect above the foliage. This is very important for 
garden effect. You will never see these peonies down in the mud after a rain 
The Japanese peonies are most artistic for floral arrangement. They will last 
as long or longer than the full double types. The open flowers are extra wide spread 
with two or more layers of broad guard petals which act as a cup to the mounded 
center. Instead of pollen-bearing stamens, the stamens and anthers are greatly en- 
larged into narrow, thick, twisted petaloids of various colors, forming a dense cush- 
ion in the center of the flower. They produce an enormous amount of flowers, creat- 
ing a riot of color in the garden. 
If you do not already have Japanese peonies in your planting, we urge you by 
all means to add a few this year, and we are confident you will want to add more 
of them to your planting the following years.
