FRANCES SHAYLOR (Shaylor). A medium dwarf Peony slightly taller ...Read Morethan MARY WOODBURY SHAYLOR. Its bloom opens a delicate pink and fades to cream. Each main bloom has a very wide row of yellow stamens showing on the flat surface of the bloom and this row of stamens gives it an individuality of its own. After the main blooms are gone, its laterals bloom prolifically, and the strong stems hold them perfectly, so that even late in the season when ENCHANTRESSE and GALATHEE are in bloom, this early variety still has landscape value. ALthough Mr. Shaylor recommended it to us several years ago as one of the great Peonies of the world, we appreciate its good qualities now much better than we did then, and we believe other growers concede it a position of its own. $4.00
