A List of Sixty Choice Peonies of the More Expensive Varieties
Pink Varieties
Kelway's Queen (Kelway).  8.8.  There has been a great deal of trouble about Kelway’s Queen.  The stocks of it have been badly mixed up and several spurious sorts have been sent out under the name.  But there is never any mistake as to its genuineness after one once sees it.  It is a distinct peony, both in the flower itself and also in the appearance of the plant.  We have the true variety and guarantee our stock of it to be absolutely true.  It is rose type.  A large compact flower of uniform mauve, with center flecked crimson.  A tall, strong grower, very profuse bloomer.  Late mid-season.  One of Kelway’s very best.  A very distinct color in peonies, a great show flower.

Chinese Pæonies from Langport.
Amongst the various specialities in hardy flowers grown by Messrs. Kelway and Son, Langport, Somerset, herbaceous Pæonies hold a prominent position. We are in receipt of a boxful of blooms cut with long stems, showing how suitable they are for filling vases and making up other floral decorations in the home. [...]
A very handsomely built flower was Kelway's Queen, of a soft blush-pink and white at the tips. This was perfectly double, making a very handsome flower.
