Paeonia albiflora: Richardson Seedlings.
The following Peonies are seedlings raised by the late Mr. John Richardson of Dorchester, Mass., who was well known as a very skillful horticulturalist. The Peonies that he originated include some of the finest known varieties.
Alpheus Hyatt. Beautiful rose pink, petals a uniform color throughout, very large, perfectly double, a flat flower and late. Extra. $1.00.
In my list published in 1916 I called this variety Grandiflora. As the name Grandiflora is in current usage in the trade for one of Mr. Richardson's seedlings which is totally distinct (see p. 14) last year I dropped that name for this variety and revived the name Alpheus Hyatt which I gave to it many years ago.

Paeonia albiflora: Richardson Seedlings.
The following Peonies are seedlings raised by the late Mr. John Richardson of Dorchester, Mass., who was well known as a very skillful horticulturalist. The Peonies that he originated include some of the finest known varieties.
Grandiflora (synonym Henry Woodward). Light blush pink, lighter in centre, very large flat flower, perfectly double, late. Extra, First Class Certificate of Merit, 1883. $1.00
For years I have grown this Peony under the name Henry Woodward which I gave it, and I described and figured it under that name in the Transactions of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society for the year 1904, p. 181, Plate 9. Nevertheless this Peony has been widely distributed in the trade under the name Grandiflora and is generally known under that name as I am informed by three Peony experts of unquestionable authority. To avoid confusion, last year in my list the name Grandiflora was accepted and Henry Woodward was treated as a synonym. (See Bull. American Peony Society, August, 1915, p. 17.)

Double Paeonia albiflora varieties.
Humei (synonym Francis B. Hayes). Bright rose, perfectly double, midseason, rather weak stem. 50 cents.
This Peony I have grown for many years under the name Francis B. Hayes. I did not get my stock from Mr. Richardson, but from Mrs. E. M. Gill of Medford, a most careful and enthusiastic gardener. She obtained her Peony collection from Mr. John C. Hovey from whom presumably this Peony cam directly. Mr. Hovey gave the name Francis B. Hayes to a Peony he got from Mr. Richardson under the impression that it was one of his seedlings, and there is no doubt that this is the plant so named. This year Mr. Arthur H. Fewkes and Mr. E. J. Shaylor, both most careful men and leading experts in the varieties of Peonies examined my plants in bloom and both unhesitatingly said that this Francis B. Hayes is the old variety Humei. It is just such a variety as would be likely to occur in an old garden like Mr. Richardson's. Further, Mr. Richardson rarely labeled his perennials or kept any track of names. Mr. Richardson had so many seedling Peonies that it is quite natural that Mr. Hovey should have been mistaken in supposing that this variety was a seedling. There is a very excellent colored plate of Humei published in Curtis' Botanical Magazine, Plate 1768, vol. 42, 1815. The description states that the drawing was made from a specimen communicated by Sir Abraham Hume, who imported it from Canton. The variety Humei is further mentioned in the Botanical Register, vol. 6, p. 485, 1820. The published figure and description of the foliage as wrinkled both correspond closely with the character of the plants in my garden. For the above reasons, especially the opinion of Messrs. Fewkes and Shaylor which is the most critically expert opinion that one could have, I treat Francis B. Hayes as a synonym of Humei.
