Double Varieties 
CHERRY HILL (Thurlow)—8.6 
This is an early blooming, red, double peony whose 
petals are built loosely together and which is con¬ 
sequently able to stand rather severe rain storms. 
Some years it blooms earlier even than Richard 
Carvel and it consequently has value as a cut flower 
for Memorial Day. Like Hansina Brand it is not 
•“set” in its form and appearance. An exhibition 
flower at the Syracuse show was of perfect vase 
shape both inside and outside with all of its stamens 
closely set in its deep center. The effect was both 
beautiful and striking. Before seeing its label I be¬ 
lieved it was a new seedling.

CORNELIA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A very double white peony with a pink undertone. It 
is not as good a variety as Nick Shaylor but it ranks 
high in my collection of the Shaylor varieties.

DARLING O’MINE (Good & Reese) 
A medium tall, light pink, double peony with large 
petals, the outer ones of which fade nearly white 
while the inner petals retain their beautiful pink 
color. The carmine markings on the petals add to the 
beauty of this variety and its splendid stems with 
graceful carriage make it, I believe, one of the three 
best of the Good and Reese introductions.

DAVID HARUM (Brand)—8.4 
This is a very dark but still bright rose color variety 
with strong stems. And it has a most striking color 
in the garden. If planted in a distant part of the 
garden it usually draws the visitor to its corner, at 
least for an introduction. Delicate pink varieties are 
not happy as close companions of David Harum, but 
the white ones do not resent his presence.

DR. J. H. NEELEY (Good & Reese) 
The beautiful buds open first as a faint blush pink 
but soon become pure white. The flowers are large 
with broad guard petals and the central petals form 
a cup-shaped center. Long stems. Pleasing fra¬ 
grance.

DOROTHY J. 
This is the variety which last year won the Home 
Achievement Medal and a Silver Medal in the Seed¬ 
ling Class, and which was also placed in the Court of 
Honor. Its color is of a deep rich cream with a faint 
suggestion of pink upon petals which were of great 
substance. 
3 to 5 eye divisions.
