Book (1928) Page(s) 61. A List of Sixty Choice Peonies of the More Expensive Varieties Pink Varieties Georgiana Shaylor (Shaylor). 8.9. This, we think, is Mr. Shaylor’s greatest flower. For years we have been of this opinion and have never changed our mind. If Mr. Shaylor had never produced another peony, his name would still have lived among peony lovers because of this one variety. When the time comes for Georgiana Shaylor to bloom I take an hour off and go down into the field where the three year olds of Georgiana are. There I stand spellbound before hundreds of great blooms of as beautiful a flower as was ever produced.
