S. ingle and Japanese Peonies 
Distinctly Different 
Decidedly Decorative 
Wind and Rain Resistant 
Few people are familiar with the beauty of the Japanese and Single types of the Peony. For both house decoration and garden 
effect, these types have an artistic value different from the double form. They are rain and wind resistant and you seldom see 
these varieties in the mud after a storm. They work out nicely in floral arrangements and they hold up as a cut flower as well or 
even better than the double types. If you are not already growing these beautiful Peonies, try a few this year.
