Magazine (7 Jul 1900) Page(s) 710. The Paeonies. Messrs. Barr & Sons, King Street, Covent Garden, London, W.C., and Long Ditton, Surrey, as growers of hardy plants, &c., have over two acres devoted to them. On Staurday, June 23rd, notes were made of a number of fine varieties which they largely cultivate in their nursery at the address just given. Doubles. Leonie certainly is extra fine. It is, indeed, one of the best, having large well-built flowers of a tender lilac-blush, some of the petals also being edged with crimson, a fact which gives it greater merit. It is charmingly rose-scented. The flowers are of enormous size, borne very profusely, and the habit of the plant and its fine leafage combine to make it one of the best of the double June flowering Paeonies.
