PEONIES—RANDOM NOTES
B. Y. MORRISON
Through the kindness of Professor Saunders we are able to record in this issue a flower of his hybrid "Argosy" bred from Paeonia lutea and a tree peony. This has been illustrated before in Horticulture but is so striking a bloom and so great an achievement that it is well to show it again. As compared to lutea it is a huge flower but is not so large as some of the tree peonies themselves. The color is a delightful yellow with a red purple flame at the base of the petals, seen plainly in the illustration, which shows the flower in its almost full condition.
