Rose and peony Breeder
Listing last updated on Wed Aug 2024
Rapidan, Virginia
United States
George William Peyton (1874- January 18, 1965 Gordonsville, VA), Secretary of the APS. It is reported that he grew about 2000 cultivars.
[From "The Peonies", by Myron Bigger, 1962, p.38:] "George W. Peyton, acted as president for a time and became secretary in 1951. More than any one individual in our time, he came to know peonies and peony growers across the country through his yearly trips starting in May from his home in Virginia into all the peony growing areas, ending up in Northern Minnesota and the Dakotas in July. He came to know practically every grower and breeder and all of their various seedlings and introductions. His accounts of these trips in the Bulletin and in other publications constitute our best source of information concerning the progress of peony growing in this country."
