Kelway's Peonies.
Kelway, of England, has produced some very fine varieties, such as Baroness Schroeder, James Kelway, Lady Alexandra Duff, and various other sorts.
Albiflora, The Bride (Syn. La Fiancee) (Des. 1902); also Snowflake (Kel.). Very large; pure white. Tall, vigorous grower, free bloomer, very early. Finest single white. Distinct from the primitive species Albiflora. being the taller grower, much larger, finer flower. Identical with the single white sent out by Dessert as La Fiancee. However, to retain the name The Bride, to avoid confusion with the double white variety originated by Lemoine in 1898. $2.00.
