Pæonies.—Messrs. Kelway have favoured us with a sample of their superb Pæonies. [...] Among the specimens sent to us are:
Lady Romilly.—A very double flower, with pale pink petals, the inner ones densely compacted.

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. [...] The foliage of all was good, but that of Lady Romilly particularly so. The stem, though only 15 inches long or less, carried four large, rich green leaves, without a blemish. The flower is a uniform silvery pink and very double, so that a bed or bold clump of it would be a conspicuous ornament to the garden or pleasure grounds.
