Proceedings of the American Peony Society for the Year 1917
Fifteenth Annual Meeting held at Philadelphia, June 13 and 14, 1917.
From Mrs. Sarah A. Pleas, Whittier, California.
Meanwhile I had added to my list, Kelway's "The Queen", the only single peony in my collection. A few volunteer seedlings appearing near their mother, The Queen, remained unmolested until they were dug up and re-set to fill a new space and embellish the lawn.  Before very long they began to bloom.  The first was called Nellie Pleas, and was sold to a nurseryman.  Another christened Bouquet de Flora was also sold, but never since heard from.
In 1887 The Queen was bending to the ground with the weight of seeds.  It seemed a pity to let them all be wasted, and I sowed a pint of them from this isolated early blooming single white, with no other kind in bloom at the same time unless perhaps the officinalis rubra.  This white single The Queen is the mother and grandmother of every seedling peony I have produced.  The strange part is that among 300 seedlings so produced there was every type represented, in all colors and shades, in full double, semi-double, and single, and even the little Japanese.  The rows were gradually thinned out, and my garden was soon running over on all sides with the plants thus obtained.
