Synopsis

Excerpt from A Peony Check-List: Including the Leading Varieties of Peonies of Which Authentic Descriptions Can Be Found in Horticultural Literature

The two chief purposes Of the peony investigation are: (i) to bring order out Of the confusion which exists in regard to the names Of varieties, and (2) to Offer simple but complete and accurate descriptions for the short and unsatisfactory descriptions of the earlier writers. The information which is being gathered in connection with this work falls naturally into two classes. Viz., that which is gathered from books, periodicals, manuscripts, correspondence, etc., and that which is Obtained from direct Observation Of the plants them selves. The facts presented in this check-list belong to the first mentioned class. It is intended to publish a later bulletin con~ taining all the facts gathered from the plants themselves.
