Paeonia is an international newsletter for peony hybridizers. It was published quarterly from April 1970 to spring
2002. Paeonia was started in 1970 by Silvia Saunders (daughter of Prof. A. P. Saunders) and was published continuously
until the end of 2001. From approx. 1971-1994 Paeonia was edited and published by Chris Laning of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Starting
in 1995, Paeonia has been edited and published by Don Smith of West Newton, Mass.
New Advanced
Generation Herbaceous Hybrid (AGHH) Pedigree Library Added (last
modified on 1/07/2013)
A new data base of pedigree charts
for more than 25 modern advanced generation tetraploid herbaceous hybrids has been generated and added to the Herbaceous
Hybrid page of this site. To view the pedigree charts in this new data base click the link below.
Most
of the hybrids included in this new data base are presumed to be tetraploid, although a few are presumed diploids.
To my knowledge, none have actually been tested. Most of these hybrids are very fertile, some both ways. As a
result, many of these new AGHH's are being used extensively for hybridizing and are producing some outstanding new advanced
generation hybrids. Many of these hybrids have long pedigrees that extend out to the 7-9th generation
and contain as many as 5-7 different species. None are the work of a single breeder, as the accomplishments
of most hybridizers are made by builting upon the work of those who have gone before them. Some of these new hybrids
are the result of the combined efforts of 5 or 6 different hybridizers spanning more than 75 years.
It
is my hope that both serious and amateur breeders will find this information helpful in planning their breeding programs
or at least interesting and educational.
