One of the leading members of that society, its Secretary, Professor A. P. Saunders of Hamilton College, procured plants of P. lutea and P. delavayi, and began his work which was to prove so wonderfully successful. Not caring for the double flowers, so heavy that they hung down under the foliage, Professor Saunders used the pollen of single and semi-double Japanese Moutan varieties. As a result, he produced singIe and semi-double flowers. The color range is verv wide, as a glance at the attached list will show. Year after year these flowers have been exhibited at peony society meetings. The first of them, 'Argosy,' has been proparsated in sufficiently large nmnbers to be available for general distribution.
