Mr. Thurlow states that Mr. Richardson bequeathed his peonies to Mr. John C. Hovey, but that is a mistake. Mr. Hovey received what peonies he had as a gift during Mr. Richardson's life. Mr. Hovey when visiting me shortly before his death in 1894, on request dictated the names he had given and the descriptions of the Richardson peonies in his possession. As this is an important matter to peony growers his description is given at this point.
John C. Hovey's description of Richardson Peonies in his garden.
1. Perfection. Blush rose, Silver Medal, 23 June 1869. [For the change required in this name, see p.183.]

3. Grandiflora. Light rose, flat flower. First Class Certificate of Merit, 26 June 1883.

Description of Mr. Richardson's Seedling Peonies.
The following is a list with descriptions of the Richardson seedling peonies, with synonyms where such exist and the awards they have received; these awards were all made by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, so that for the sake of brevity the name of the Society is not further mentioned. The date of blooming this year is given, and also the height. The height was taken in August, and measures the distance from the ground to the calyx of the flower; with the flower, therefore, some inches would be added as a maximum height. The whole set of eighteen varieties was exhibited this year before the Society either on June 5, 11, or 21-22.
Norfolk. (Plate 11, from a photograph kindly furnished by Mr. J. Woodward Manning.) Named by John C. Hovey (synonym F. M. Balfour). Flowers large, cup shaped, light rose pink, darker in centre, an extremely beautiful color. Perfectly double, no stamens or stigmas showing, a profuse bloomer, plant of good habit, one of the choicest of the Richardson seedlings. In bloom 18 June 1904, height to flower 35½ inches. Named Norfolk for the county in which the town of Dorchester (now part of the city of Boston) is situated.
