Pæonies.—Messrs. Kelway have favoured us with a sample of their superb Pæonies. [...] Among the so-called single and semi-double flowers are:
Agnes Mary Kelway.—In this flower, the outermost guard-petals are mostly pale rose coloured, the narrow intermediate ones replacing the stamens are narrow, sulphur-yellow, these encircle a row of central rose coloured petals. The flowers thus appear to be prolified, a second flower being formed within and above the primary flower.

Pæonies From Langport.
A boxful of named varieties has reached us from Messrs. Kelway and Son, Langport, Somerset. [...] None of the double varieties was entirely white, though there were several pale and choice varieties. [...] Another strikingly distinct flower is that named Agnes Mary Kelway, moderate in size and consisting of three rows of broad silvery-pink petals forming a guard to a great zone of closely packed and short yellow petals, surrounding a central knot of purple ones.

The following is a list of some of the admirable herbaceous varieties that have been exhbited by Messrs. Kelway during the past two seasons. In a choice selection like this we have the Pæony in its fullest splendour. Not only is there a delightful range of colour, but we have flowers of various characters, and some of the largest size and beauty.
The finest of the double varieties are:
Agnes Mary Kelway.—This is a remarkable flower. The guard petals are large and of a flesh colour, but in the centre of the bloom is a bunch of golden thread-like segments, out of which arises a tuft of broad, deep, rose-coloured petals.
