Medium size, bright aster purple, midseason. Staminodes oblanceolate, purple-tinged, with yellow edges and yellow filaments. Carpels smooth, tips pink-tinged; disk conspicuous, white. Plant large, spreading; flowers held high above the foliage. Hawa is similar. This is the red-stemmed King of England according to Mr. H. F. Little, and it is the best of the varieties received under this name. A very similar variety known as the green-stemmed King of England was also received (21, 30). The latter has hairy carpels. A third form received under the name of King of England has yellow staminodes resembling normal stamens.

There is a question whether there are two varieties of this name. Peterson described these as the red-stemmed variety and the green-stemmed one. The latter is the better—the stems are heavier and straighter and the flowers larger."—Thurlow.

Rare Single Japanese Peonies
The so-called Japanese Peonies are those which have one or two rows of petals and centers of stamens much thickened. These are almost devoid of pollen and oftentimes make a thick cushion of golden yellow. The effect is very beautiful and distinct and they continue to bloom throughout the Peony season. Although strong growers they propagate slowly and the stocks are usually limited.
Edward VII (Kelway), we have found this to be a good red of strong growth and a profusion of bloom. Petals of deep crimson and a good compact center of yellow stamens. Midseason. $4.00 each.
