At the present time, there are several nurseries in Japan which grow both herbaceous and tree peonies. One of these, which does a large export business to England and America, maintains an office in each country. Twenty-nine varieties of the herbaceous peony are listed in the catalogue of this nursery, the names of some of which are delightfully quaint. Someganoko—painted fawn, Shishi-Odori—dancing lions, Kame-no-Kegoromo—turtle's holiday attire, are among the most diverting.
