591—Governor Morton (Teas, 1917.) Rose type; midseason. A high built flower of deepest rose or soft madder red with a decided silvery sheen. Rose type and good substance, adding a new shade of red to any collection. This is the only Peony ever introduced by the late E. Y. Teas, the noted Indiana horticulturalisy. He quaintly wrote: "I named it Governor Morton because the Hoosiers liked him."
