A List of Sixty Choice Peonies of the More Expensive Varieties
Pink Varieties
Lady Alexandra Duff (Kelway).  9.1.  One of the largest and most beautiful of all peonies.  An immense, loosely built flower with great broad rounded petals so exquisitely arranged as to make a flower of most ravishing beauty.  In color it is a lovely French White.  This flower looks white but when closely scrutinized it shows the white tinted with the most delicate pink imaginable.  When not disbudded, the central flower is loosely double of a rather flattened, circular form, with the central petals touched with carmine.  It is a beautifully formed flower and sweet scented.  The plants are exceedingly free flowering and very showy.  The side flowers, which open after the central flower, come semi-double saucer shaped and show stamens.  Taken all in all this is positively one of the most beautiful of all peonies, and should we be asked to name the twelve most beautiful peonies Lady Alexandra Duff would be one of the twelve.
