STONYCROFT GARDENS 
LIST AND PRICES OF 
DOUBLE AND SINGLE 
HERBACEOUS PAEONIES 
For Fall of 1912 and Spring of 1913 
N addition to this list, I have growing; in my grounds, many 
new varieties imjrorted from different parts of the world. 
They are the latest French and English novelties, and the 
best of the Japanese varieties. The French Paeonies are by 
the best-known horticulturists, such as Crousse, Calot, Dessert, 
Lemoine and others. These French hybrids, which have 
flowered in the last four years, are very fine, and marvels of beauty. The Jap- 
anese Paeonies are both single and double, and more odd in form and color than 
those of, other countries. My aim is to supply as good Paeonies as there are in 
the world, and to keep introducing each year the best Continental novelties. 
In 1904, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society awarded me First 
Class Certificates of Merit on Paeony Lady Alexandra Duff, by Kelway ; 
Marguerite Gerard, by Crousse; and Mine. Emile Lemoine, by Lemoine. 
In 1905, the same Society awarded me First Class Certificates of Merit 
on Germain Bigot and Mine, de Treyeran, and Honorable Mention on M. 
Martin Cahuzac, all by Dessert. 
In 1906, the same Society awarded me a First Class Certificate on 
Therese, by A. Dessert. 
The Horticulture said of my 1905 table: '‘The best display — one that 
has probably never been equalled in any previous shows here — was that of 
E. J. Shaylor.” 
The Florists Review said of my exhibit in 1906: “E. J. Shaylor’s collec- 
tion of two hundred varieties, comprising, as it did, so many fine novelties, 
was a centre of attraction. Mr. Shaylor has spent a lot of money on 
Paeonies and has one of the fine.st collections in the country.”
