How I Became Deeply Interested 
In Peonies 
I joined the American Peony Society in 1916, so that 
I might exhibit Jubilee, which I believed to be the most 
beautiful Peony in the World. It won a prize at the 
National Peony Show in New York, and on my home¬ 
ward journey I wrote a letter (which could have been 
mailed to my best friend), describing the Peony Show 
and telling whom I had met and what varieties were 
prize winners. 
But instead of mailing it to my friend, I took it to 
my printer and had him print enough copies of it so 
that I could mail one to each member of the American 
Peony Society. 
The next year I took Jubilee to the National Show, 
which was held in Philadelphia and it won the first prize 
for the six best blooms in the Show. 
This time I sent a 12 page booklet to each of the 
members of the Society and had it illustrated with the 
winning blooms. 
The 1918 Peony Show was held in Cleveland, and this 
time I sent a much larger booklet with still more in¬ 
formation about the show, the winning varieties, and 
the friends I had made. 
The following year, Michigan invited us to hold our 
Show in Detroit, and this time I sent out more booklets
