This was the first woody peony Saunders introduced.\u00a0 It caused a sensation when it was first shown at the Massachusetts Horticulture Society where it won a First Class Certificate. \u00a0Silvia Saunders stated, and rightly so, that it has now been “superseded by better yellows” but I wanted it in my collection for its place in history. An ‘Argosy’ was planted at the gravesite of A.P. Saunders in the cemetery of Hamilton College but it is no longer there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Silvia wrote that it was very similar to ‘Arcadia’ and considered its foliage to be “ferny”.<\/span><\/p>\n
