This Paeony is a poor performer with me. The petals are packed in so hard that it 
seldom opens. Many of the petals crack off on one side of the bud and make a malformed 
flower. This year there was not ten per cent of the blooms perfect. It has been extravagantly 
praised and sold for $2.00 each, while in Holland it has fallen in price to 10 and 12 cents 
each by the One Hundred. Its true name cannot be traced. It does not compare at all 
with the grand flower of the true Eugene Verdier. 
1 have exhibited my Paeony flowers before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society for 
twelve years. In all this time all the blooms so exhibited have been cut from the field. I 
have never grown blooms in any way as a show bed to obtain show flowers. I have never 
exhibited for prizes but this society has awarded me 15 first class certificates of merit, three 
silver medals, and finally their Gold Medal.
