FROM ALABAMA—‘‘Avelyn—lIf any Peony has a richer color I have not 
seen it. If it continues the pace that it set this year and proves prolific 
it will merit the rating of best of all red doubles.’’ 
FROM ALABAMA—“Topeka, a hybrid, is a vigorous red—I have never 
seen a red of its color, which is most delightful, brilliant light red totally 
unlike any I have. It is profuse and its blooms are large.’’ 
FROM ALABAMA—“‘Arcturus and John Harvard are two of the very best 
(singles). No finer nor more radiant red color can be found in flowers 
than these two possess.”’
