'The Maiden' peony References
Magazine (Oct 1917) Page(s) 32. Proceedings of the American Peony Society for the year 1917 Fifteenth Annual Meeting held at Philadelphia, June 13 and 14, 1917. From Mrs. Sarah A. Pleas, Whittier, California. Finally Mr. C. S. Harrison, at his own suggestion, took quite a block of divisions of my seedlings, and grew them for me on shares. He asked me for in formation as to their culture, and how to grow them from seed. So I have always regarded him as my pupil. He has proved a very apt one indeed, and has "done himself proud". I too have been proud of his work, more especially of his Peony Manual, though I felt a little jealous for not having anticipated him in writing the things I knew so well, and which were so greatly needed. From among the plants he took, he named one Golden Wedding, another Shabona, a third The Maiden.
