At the Boston peony show it was hard to find anything superior to some of Richardson's. His Grandiflora is a wonder, Milton Hill is a splendor.

Milton Hill. Richardson, 1891. One of the most exquisitely beautiful peonies in Europe or America. Flowers large, ethereal, clear, soft pink; central petals set like a rose, perfectly double. One looking at this resplendent bloom realizes we need not go to Europe for the best. Unfortunately it is not a prolific multiplier.
