PAEONIA 



343 



PAEONIA, Peony (Hort. var.), continued 



This list is brought up to spring, 1923. 

 The original copy was revised by A. P. 

 Saunders, Secretary, American Peony 

 Society, Clinton, N. Y., to whom corre- 

 spondence in reference to Peonies should 

 be addressed. 



The originator's name, where known, 

 is given after each variety, but accuracy 

 is not guaranteed. This list will serve as 

 a working basis for future revisions and 

 additions. 



The Peony well illustrates the crying 

 need of standardization in names of 

 horticultural varieties of many groups 

 of our most popular garden flowers 

 which are now in a state of chaos; and 

 also the imperative necessity of name 

 registration, by an authoritative body, of 

 all new varieties introduced. Elimi- 

 nation of unworthy varieties is espe- 

 cially desirable. 



Special Note. As is the case in practi- 

 cally all special hsts submitted to it for 

 publication in Standardized Plant 

 Names, the American Joint Committee 

 has found it necessary to modify a few 

 names which violated its rules of pro- 

 cedure, for example, Old Silver Tip be- 

 comes Old Silvertip; 0-pe-chee becomes 

 Opechee; Mademoiselle Marie Calot be- 

 comes Mile. Marie Calot, etc. Another 

 exa,mple is the use of the possessive, 

 which the American Joint Committee 

 has discarded in all cases; therefore it is 

 only fair to state that Dr. Saunders 

 disagrees with this practice.
