E.J. SHAYLOR. (Shaylor, 1918.) 8.7.
Double type; large; late midseason. Dark rose-pink, the petals tipped with lilac; globular form, the outer petals incurved over a hollow center of many stamens and petaloids with yellow edges; good, rose-like fragrance. Medium height; strong, upright growth; moderately floriferous; good stems and foliage.
Undoubtedly a good variety, but similar to a great many others. Its color is a shade or two lighter than Lamartine (Lemoine).
"One of the most distinct peonies. A ring of narrow petaloids, tipped yellow, gives a trifle ragged but very pleasing effect. This variety and Frances Shaylor are alike except in color."—Thurlow.
