Ecstasy (Brethour, 1926). We are pleased to produce as our cover page illustration a new peony originated by Dr. F. G. Brethour, 60 Woodlawn Avenue W., Toronto, Canada, and give below a brief note received from him in regard to the same.
"My seedling Ecstasy first bloomed for me in 1926 when it showed great promise. In 1927 and 1928 it matured into a fine flower of exquisite charm. A plain white peony never appealed to me, but this one shows a wonderful rich yellow in its depths. This added to its fine form, sturdiness of growth, very pleasant perfume and long lasting quality when cut gave me more than an ordinary feeling of pride that I had a white peony somewhat different. I thought Ecstasy would be a suitable name for that reason."
