AUNT MARY’S SWEET CORN FARM 
SHAYLOR’S SUNBURST (Shaylor) 
A white Japanese with yellow staminodes which are 
being transformed into very narrow petals. It is a 
vigorous variety which I wish to see planted near 
Isani Gidui. It may have a great future. Very few

SNOW WHEEL (Japan)—8.3 
This is a white variety somewhat similar to Isani 
Gidui and you will notice it is much less expensive. 
Our 1940 stock is limited.

SOME-GANOKO (Japan)—9.0 
This is another very outstanding red Japanese va¬ 
riety with larger petals than those on many other 
varieties. Visitors always give a second look at the 
flowers on this variety because of their size.

SOSHI (Millet)—9.0 
This Japanese variety has especially fine, heavy, 
deep green foliage in addition to the red blooms 
which it carries. Nearly all other varieties of peonies 
carry their blooms well above the foliage, but in this 
variety, when well grown, the flowers seem to nestle 
in the foliage.

TAMATE-BOKU (Japan)—9.4 
This large and beautiful pink and yellow variety was 
far, far the best Japanese variety exhibited in the 
Rochester National Peony Show this year and it was 
the only Japanese variety placed in the Court of 
Honor. Its history is the most remarkable of any 
peony in all our American peony catalogues. I was, 
I believe, the very first importer of this variety from 
France in 1916 at a price of only $2.00. And now, after 
twenty-four years in commerce, it is not only the best 
Japanese variety but its increase in popularity, de¬ 
mand, and price is almost like a fairy story. I am 
sure that every peony enthusiast will look forward to 
the time when he will have a Tamate-Boku growing 
in the Court of Honor in his own garden.

TORO-NO-MAKI (Japan)—9.0 
For many years I have told my customers that Isani 
Gidui is the very best white Japanese peony and I 
still am willing to be quoted on these words. How¬ 
ever, Toro-No-Maki carries very, very large white 
blooms of exceptional substance, but instead of 
branching out as a shrub or bush this variety sends 
its stems and its laterals upright. A blooming row 
of this variety gives the effect of a trimmed green 
hedge with a flat top which is completely covered 
with a layer of beautiful blooming flat white flowers. 
It is particularly adapted for formal gardens where 
blooms of the same size all blooming at the same 
height and at the same time are desired.
